Gene information for AHCY (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID191
Official gene symbolAHCY
Full nameadenosylhomocysteinase
Aliases,SAHH,
Gene summaryS-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase belongs to the adenosylhomocysteinase family. It catalyzes the reversible hydrolysis of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) to adenosine (Ado) and L-homocysteine (Hcy). Thus, 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
