Application
S-(5′-Adenosyl)-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy) is a component of intracellular homocysteine stress. AdoHcy is a competitive inhibitor (versus AdoMet) of DNA methyltransferases (S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet)-dependent methyltransferases) involved in epigenetics; consequently AdoHcy is used in a variety of studies on epigenetics in hyperhomocysteinemic states. S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) is metabolized by S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) hydrolase (AHCY).
