Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + glycine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + sarcosine
Systematic Name
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:glycine N-methyltransferase
Function
This enzyme is thought to play an important role in the regulation of methyl group metabolism in the liver and pancreas by regulating the ratio between S-adenosyl-L-methionine and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine. It is inhibited by 5-methyltetrahydrofolate pentaglutamate. Sarcosine, which has no physiological role, is converted back into glycine by the action of EC 1.5.8.3, sarcosine dehydrogenase.
Other name
glycine methyltransferase; S-adenosyl-L-methionine:glycine methyltransferase; GNMT
