S-Adenosyl Methionine
S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (SAMe) is a coenzyme involved in methyl group transfers. It is made from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and methionine by methionine adenosyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.6). Transmethylation, transsulfuration, and aminopropylation are the metabolic pathways that use SAMe. Although these anabolic reactions occur throughout the body, most SAMe is produced and consumed in the liver.
