In enzymology, a dimethylhistidine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.44) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and Nalpha,Nalpha-dimethyl-L-histidine, whereas its two products are S-adenosylhomocysteine and Nalpha,Nalpha,Nalpha-trimethyl-L-histidine.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is S-adenosyl-L-methionine:Nalpha,Nalpha-dimethyl-L-histidine Nalpha-methyltransferase.
Other names in common use include dimethylhistidine methyltransferase, histidine-alpha-N-methyltransferase, S-adenosyl-L-methionine:alpha-N,alpha-N-dimethyl-L-histidine, and alpha-N-methyltransferase.
