Protein

Adenosylhomocysteinase A

Organism

Xenopus laevis

Length

433 amino acids

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.

Similarity

Belongs to the adenosylhomocysteinase family.
