NNMT(Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases. It is predominantly expressed in the liver, and a lower expression is seen in the kidney, lung, skeletal muscle, placenta and heart. NNMT catalyzes the N-methylation of nicotinamide and other pyridines to form pyridinium ions. This activity is important for biotransformation of many drugs and xenobiotic compounds. Source: Recombinant human NNMT protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli.
