What is S-(5′-Adenosyl)-L-homocysteine?

S-(5′-Adenosyl)-L-homocysteine is a chemical compound with CAS number 979-92-0 and molecular formula C14H20N6O5S. It is used in various industrial and research applications.

Applications

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).
