5-hydroxyfuranocoumarin 5-O-methyltransferase
Cat No.
EXWM-1970
Description
Converts bergaptol into bergapten, which has therapeutic potential in the treatment of psoriasis as it has photosensitizing and antiproliferative activities. The enzyme methylates the 5-hydroxy group of some hydroxy- and methylcoumarins, such as 5-hydroxyxanthotoxin, but has little activity on non-coumarin phenols. Caffeate, 5-hydroxyferulate and daphnetin are not substrates. Cu2+, Zn2+ and Co2+ cause enzyme inhibition. (see also EC 2.1.1.70, 8-hydroxyfuranocoumarin 8-O-methyltransferase)
