gua·ni·di·no·ac·e·tate N-meth·yl·trans·fer·ase (gwah″nĭ-de″no-asґə-tāt meth″əl-transґfər-ās) [EC 2.1.1.2] a cytosolic enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the methylation of guanidinoacetate to form creatine, the final step in the biosynthesis of creatine. The methyl donor is S-adenosylmethionine, and the enzyme is concentrated in the kidney and pancreas.
