Category:GO:0035243 ! protein-arginine omega-N symmetric methyltransferase activity

name: protein-arginine omega-N symmetric methyltransferase activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "Catalysis of the addition of a second methyl group to methylated peptidyl-arginine. Methylation is on the terminal nitrogen (omega nitrogen) residue that is not already methylated, resulting in symmetrical peptidyl-N(omega),N'(omega)-dimethyled arginine residues." [EC:2.1.1.320, PMID:14705965, RESID:AA0067, RESID:AA0069]
comment: Note that type II protein arginine N-methyltransferase enzymes possess 'protein-arginine omega-N monomethyltransferase activity ; GO:0035241' and 'protein-arginine omega-N symmetric methyltransferase activity ; GO:0035243'.
