In enzymology, (RS)-norcoclaurine 6-O-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.128) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:

+ SAM
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
+ SAH
 

In this methylation reaction, the enzyme uses the cofactor, S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) which transfers a methyl group, giving S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) as a by-product.
