Background Descriptions	Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the most abundant mammalian phospholipid. This gene encodes an enzyme which converts phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine by sequential methylation in the liver. Another distinct synthetic pathway in nucleated cells converts intracellular choline to phosphatidylcholine by a three-step process. The protein isoforms encoded by this gene localize to the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria-associated membranes. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

Protein Information
Name	PEMT {ECO:0000255\|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03216}
Synonyms	PEMPT, PNMT
Function	Catalyzes the three sequential steps of the methylation pathway for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a critical and essential component for membrane structure (PubMed:12431977, PubMed:15927961). Uses S-adenosylmethionine (S-adenosyl-L-methionine, SAM or AdoMet) as the methyl group donor for the methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, PE) to phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3- phospho-N-methylethanolamine, PMME), PMME to phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-N,N- dimethylethanolamine, PDME), and PDME to phosphatidylcholine (1,2- diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, PC), producing S-adenosyl-L- homocysteine in each step (PubMed:12431977, PubMed:15927961). Responsible for approximately 30% of hepatic PC with the CDP-choline pathway accounting for the other 70% (Probable).
Cellular Location	Endoplasmic reticulum. Note=localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of the liver and in a lipid metabolism-rich region of the ER known as mitochondria-associated membranes (PubMed:15927961) Adopts a topography within the ER membrane that positions both termini in the cytosol (PubMed:12431977). [Isoform 2]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255\|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03216}
Tissue Location	Primarily expressed in liver (at protein level).
