Description

SAH is an amino acid derivative and a modulartor in several metabolic pathways. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of cysteine and adenosine.


Solid


S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine is an organic sulfide that is the S-adenosyl derivative of L-homocysteine. It has a role as a cofactor, an EC 2.1.1.79 (cyclopropane-fatty-acyl-phospholipid synthase) inhibitor, an EC 2.1.1.72 [site-specific DNA-methyltransferase (adenine-specific)] inhibitor, a fundamental metabolite and an epitope. It is a member of adenosines, an organic sulfide, a homocysteine derivative and a member of homocysteines. It is a conjugate acid of a S-adenosyl-L-homocysteinate. It is a tautomer of a S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine zwitterion.|5'-S-(3-Amino-3-carboxypropyl)-5'-thioadenosine. Formed from S-adenosylmethionine after transmethylation reactions.|S-Adenosylhomocysteine is an amino acid derivative and an intermediate in the synthesis of cysteine and adenosine. S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) is formed upon S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-dependent methylation (homocysteine methionine cycle) of biological molecules, such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. It is then hydrolyzed by S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase to form adenosine and homocysteine. As SAH modulates methylation dependent reactions, SAH levels and the ratio of SAH:SAM may be used to assess methylation status of macrocolecules.
