Abstract:
Monomethylethanolamine and dimethylethanolamine stimulatd the SAM phospholipid N-methylation activity by a Ca+2 dependent reaction. Presumably these bases are converted into their corresponding membranous phospholipid which become substrates for a phospholipid methyl transferase also present in these membranes.
