Recombinant human Adenosylhomocysteinease/AHCY protein
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. Recombinant human AHCY protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques
