======= ASMT ======= == Gene Information == * **Official Symbol**: ASMT * **Official Name**: acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase * **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A * **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=438|438]] * **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P46597|P46597]] * **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=ASMT&organism=9606|BioGRID]] * **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20ASMT|Open PubMed]] * **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/402500|Open OMIM]] == Function Summary == * **Entrez Summary**: This gene belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily, and is located in the pseudoautosomal region (PAR) at the end of the short arms of the X and Y chromosomes. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the final reaction in the synthesis of melatonin, and is abundant in the pineal gland. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]. * **UniProt Summary**: Isoform 1 catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group onto N-acetylserotonin, producing melatonin (N-acetyl-5- methoxytryptamine). Isoform 2 and isoform 3 lack enzyme activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22775292}. |Methyltransf 2| |Methyltransf 18| |Methyltransf 12| |S-methyltransferase activity| |acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase activity| |melatonin metabolic process| |melatonin biosynthetic process| |indole-containing compound biosynthetic process| |indolalkylamine biosynthetic process| |O-methyltransferase activity| |S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase activity| |indolalkylamine metabolic process| |cellular biogenic amine biosynthetic process| |indole-containing compound metabolic process| |amine biosynthetic process| |cellular biogenic amine metabolic process| |cellular amine metabolic process| |hormone biosynthetic process| |amine metabolic process| |cellular hormone metabolic process| |hormone metabolic process| |methylation| |translation| |peptide biosynthetic process| |drug metabolic process| |amide biosynthetic process| |peptide metabolic process| |regulation of hormone levels| |cellular amide metabolic process| |protein homodimerization activity| |identical protein binding| |heterocycle biosynthetic process| |aromatic compound biosynthetic process| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |macromolecule biosynthetic process| |gene expression| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
