Recombinant human Glycine N-methyltransferase/GNMT protein
Glycine N-methyltransferase, also known as GNMT, catalyzes the synthesis of N-methylglycine (sarcosine) from glycine using S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) as the methyl donor. This protein affects DNA methylation by regulating the ratio of S-adenosylmethionine to S-adenosylhomocystine and participates in the detoxification pathway in liver cells. Also it is reported that GNMT expression is diminished in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) . Recombinant human GNMT protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
