IPR032904

Description

IPR032904 is a 2-phytyl-1,4-naphtoquinone methyltransferase MenG.

<p>Phylloquinone (vitamin K(1)) is synthesised in cyanobacteria and in chloroplasts of plants, where it serves as electron carrier of photosystem I. This entry represents 2-phytyl-1,4-naphtoquinone methyltransferase MenG, which is required for the last step of phylloquinone synthesis [[cite:PUB00077015]].</p>
