Category:GO:0035242 ! protein-arginine omega-N asymmetric methyltransferase activity

name: protein-arginine omega-N asymmetric methyltransferase activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "Catalysis of the addition of a second methyl group to methylated peptidyl-arginine. Methylation is on the same terminal nitrogen (omega nitrogen) residue that was previously methylated, resulting in asymmetrical peptidyl-N(omega),N(omega)-dimethylated arginine residues." [PMID:14705965]
comment: Note that type I protein arginine N-methyltransferase enzymes possess 'protein-arginine omega-N monomethyltransferase activity ; GO:0035241' and 'protein-arginine omega-N asymmetric methyltransferase activity ; GO:0035242'.
