• S-adenosyl-L-methionine:phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine N-methyltransferase activity

Definition

Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + phosphatidyl-N-dimethylethanolamine. Also catalyzes the transfer of a further methylgroup, producing phosphatidylcholine. (2)
