In enzymology a sterol 24-C-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.41) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionS-adenosyl-L-methionine + 5alpha-cholesta-824-dien-3beta-ol S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 24-methylene-5alpha-cholest-8-en-3beta-olThus the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and 5alpha-cholesta-824-dien-3beta-ol whereas its two products are S-adenosylhomocysteine and 24-methylene-5alpha-cholest-8-en-3beta-ol.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases.
