tetrahydromethanopterin S-methyltransferase (medicine) and locus ferrugineus (medicine)


tetrahydromethanopterin S-methyltransferase (medicine)


tetrahydromethanopterin S-methyltransferase
<enzyme> Catalyses transfer of methyl groups from methyltetrahydromethanopterin to 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate; component of methane synthesizing complex of methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum; enzyme contains 5-hydroxybenzimidazolyl cobamide

Registry number: EC 2.1.1.86

Synonym: thmpt methyltransferase, tetrahydromethanopterin methyltransferase, meh4mpt-com methyltransferase, methyltetrahydromethanopterin-coenzyme m methyltransferase, 5-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethanopterin - 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate 2-methyltransferase, n5-methyltetrahydromethanopterin-coenzyme m methyltransferase, n(5)-methyltetrahydromethanopterin-coenzyme m methyltransferase


locus ferrugineus (medicine)


locus ferrugineus -->
locus ceruleus


A shallow depression, of a blue colour in the fresh brain, lying laterally in the most rostral portion of the rhomboidal fossa near the cerebral aqueduct; it lies near the lateral wall of the fourth ventricle and consists of about 20,000 melanin-pigmented neuronal cell bodies whose norepinephrine-containing axons have a remarkably wide distribution in the cerebellum as well as in the hypothalamus and cerebral cortex.

Synonym: substantia ferruginea, locus cinereus, locus ferrugineus.
