Identification
HMDB Protein ID CDBP00395
Secondary Accession Numbers Not Available
Name Glycine N-methyltransferase
Description Not Available
Synonyms Not Available
Gene Name GNMT
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in folic acid binding
Specific Function Catalyzes the methylation of glycine by using S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to form N-methylglycine (sarcosine) with the concomitant production of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy). Possible crucial role in the regulation of tissue concentration of AdoMet and of metabolism of methionine.
