Definition: A PROTEIN O-METHYLTRANSFERASE that recognizes and catalyzes the methyl esterification of ISOASPARTIC ACID and D-ASPARTIC ACID residues in peptides and proteins. It initiates the repair of proteins damaged by the spontaneous decomposition of normal L-aspartic acid and L-asparagine residues.
Other names Protein beta Aspartate Methyltransferase; Protein Methyltransferase, Isoaspartyl-Aspartyl; Protein L Isoaspartyl Methyltransferase; Protein L Isoaspartate O Methyltransferase; Protein L Isoaspartate Methyltransferase; Protein L Isoaspartate D Aspartate O Methyltransfe; Protein D Aspartate Methyltransferase; Protein D Aspartate L Isoaspartate Methyltransfera; Protein D Asp Methyltransferase; Protein Carboxymethyltransferase, L-Isoaspartyl; PIMT, Methyltransferase; O-Methyltransferase, Protein L-Isoaspartate; Methyltransferase, Protein-beta-Aspartate; Methyltransferase, Protein-L-Isoaspartate; Methyltransferase, Protein-D-Aspartate; Methyltransferase, Protein-D-Asp; Methyltransferase, Protein L-Isoaspartyl; Methyltransferase, Protein D-Aspartate-L-Isoaspart; Methyltransferase, Isoaspartyl-Aspartyl Protein; Methyltransferase, D-Aspartyl-L-Isoaspartyl
