S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH), a potent methyltransferase inhibitor and a substrate of the s-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, is an amino acid derivative and an intermediator or modulator of several metabolic pathways, including the activated methyl cycle and cysteine biosynthesis. It was shown, that the plasma SAH might be a novel biomarker for the early clinical identification of cardiovascular disease. In addition, the elevated SAH in Alzheimer's brain was related to markers of disease progression and cognitive impairment.

Curator's Comment: Inhibition by S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) of the three reactions of phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase which catalyzes the production of phosphatidylcholine from phosphatidylethanolamine in guinea pig and rat liver microsomes has been evaluated. The Ki values for the rate-limiting reactions were 3.8 microM and 68 microM in rat and guinea pig livers, respectively. An AdoMet : AdoHcy ratio of 12 : 1 in developing liver was found to decline to a constant value in the adult of 5 : 1.
