Other name(s): CbiL
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:cobalt-factor-II C20-methyltransferase
Comments: This enzyme participates in the anaerobic (early cobalt insertion) cobalamin biosynthesis pathway. See EC 2.1.1.130, precorrin-2 C20-methyltransferase, for the equivalent enzyme that participates in the aerobic cobalamin biosynthesis pathway.
