Pathway Description

Phosphatidylcholine Biosynthesis PC(18:0/18:0)

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Metabolic Pathway

Phosphatidyl ethanolamine reacts with S-adenosylmethionine through a phosphatdylethanolamine N-methyltransferase resulting in the release of hydrogen ion and S-adenosylhomocysteine an a PE-NMe. The PE-NMe reacts with S'-adenosylmethionine through a phosphotidyl-N-methylethanolamine N-methyltransferase resulting in the release of hydrogen ion, s-adenosylhomocysteine and PE-NMe2. The PE-NMe2 reacts with s-adenosylmethionine through a phosphotidyl-N-methylethanolamine N-methyltransferase resuilting in the release of hydrogen ion, s-adenosylhomocysteine and PC
