Synonyms | SAHH |
Function | Adenosylhomocysteine is a competitive inhibitor of S- adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyl transferase reactions; therefore adenosylhomocysteinase may play a key role in the control of methylations via regulation of the intracellular concentration of adenosylhomocysteine. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Melanosome. Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV |

Background
S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase belongs to theadenosylhomocysteinase family. It catalyzes the reversiblehydrolysis of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) to adenosine (Ado)and L-homocysteine (Hcy). Thus, it regulates the intracellularS-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) concentration thought to be importantfor transmethylation reactions. Deficiency in this protein is oneof the different causes of hypermethioninemia. Alternativelyspliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have beenfound for this gene.
