In [[enzymology]], an '''anthranilate N-methyltransferase''' ({{EC number|2.1.1.111}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:S-adenosyl-L-methionine + anthranilate <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N-methylanthranilate

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[S-Adenosyl methionine|S-adenosyl methionine]] and [[anthranilate]], whereas its two [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[S-adenosylhomocysteine]] and [[N-methylanthranilate]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[transferase]]s, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is '''S-adenosyl-L-methionine:anthranilate N-methyltransferase'''. This enzyme is also called '''anthranilic acid N-methyltransferase'''.  This enzyme participates in [[acridone alkaloid biosynthesis]].
