Demethylmenaquinone methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.163, S-adenosyl-L-methionine-DMK methyltransferase, demethylmenaquinone C-methylase, 2-heptaprenyl-1,4-naphthoquinone methyltransferase, 2-demethylmenaquinone methyltransferase, S-adenosyl-L-methionine:2-demethylmenaquinone methyltransferase) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:demethylmenaquinone methyltransferase.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

demethylmenaquinol + S-adenosyl-L-methionine menaquinol + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
Menaquinone, the oxidised form of manaquinol

The enzyme catalyses the penultimate step in menaquinone biosynthesis.[4]
