AHCY, aa1-432, Recombinant, Human (Adenosylhomocysteinase, AdoHcyase, S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydr

AHCY, also known as adenosylhomocysteinase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible hydrolysis of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) to adenosine (Ado) and L-homocysteine (Hcy). It regulates the intracellular S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) concentration thought to be important for transmethylation reactions. Deficiency in this protein is one of the different causes of hypermethioninemia, a rare disease affecting brain development and muscle strength. Down-regulation of AHCY is also associated with certain forms of cancer, Huntington's disease and Wilson's disease., , Source:, Recombinant corresponding to aa1-432 of human AHCY, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, expressed in E.coli.
