Glycine N-methyltransferase

UniProtKB accession:  Q9QXF8

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the methylation of glycine by using S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to form N-methylglycine (sarcosine) with the concomitant production of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy), a reaction regulated by the binding of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (PubMed:15340920). Plays an important role in the regulation of methyl group metabolism by regulating the ratio between S-adenosyl-L-methionine and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (PubMed:16779654).
