5-methyltetrahydropteroyltriglutamate-homocysteine S-methyltransferase activity

Known as: homocysteine methylase activity, MetE, methionine synthase (cobalamin-independent) activity 
Catalysis of the reaction: 5-methyltetrahydropteroyltri-L-glutamate + L-homocysteine = L-methionine + tetrahydropteroyltri-L-glutamate. [EC:2.1.1.14…
