  2. S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase
Gene Name AHCY
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in adenosylhomocysteinase activity
Specific 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.
