EC 2.1.1.16     
Accepted name: methylene-fatty-acyl-phospholipid synthase
Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + phospholipid olefinic fatty acid = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + phospholipid methylene fatty acid
Other name(s): unsaturated-phospholipid methyltransferase
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:unsaturated-phospholipid methyltransferase (methenylating)
Comments: The enzyme transfers a methyl group to the 10-position of a Δ-olefinic acyl chain in phosphatidylglycerol or phosphatidylinositol or, more slowly, phosphatidylethanolamine; subsequent proton transfer produces a 10-methylene group (cf. EC 2.1.1.79 cyclopropane-fatty-acyl-phospholipid synthase).
