In enzymology, a thetin-homocysteine S-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

dimethylsulfonioacetate + L-homocysteine S-methylthioglycolate + L-methionine

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are dimethylsulfonioacetic acid and L-homocysteine, whereas its two products are S-methylthioglycolic acid and L-methionine.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is dimethylsulfonioacetic acid:L-homocysteine S-methyltransferase. Other names in common use include dimethylthetin-homocysteine methyltransferase, and thetin-homocysteine methylpherase.

<i>S</i>-Adenosyl methionine Chemical compound found in all domains of life with largely unexplored effects

S-Adenosyl methionine (SAM), also known under the commercial names of SAMe, SAM-e, or AdoMet, is a common cosubstrate involved in methyl group transfers, transsulfuration, and aminopropylation. Although these anabolic reactions occur throughout the body, most SAM is produced and consumed in the liver. More than 40 methyl transfers from SAM are known, to various substrates such as nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and secondary metabolites. It is made from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and methionine by methionine adenosyltransferase. SAM was first discovered by Giulio Cantoni in 1952.
