Abstract:
The present invention provides an enzyme having an activity of transferring a methyl group to lignans (a lignan methylation activity) (e.g., a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or variants thereof); a gene encoding the enzyme (e.g., a polynucleotide comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or variants thereof); a method for producing methylated lignans using the gene; and so on.
