Application

S-(5′-Adenosyl)-L-methionine p-toluenesulfonate salt has been used for cell proliferation assay. It has also been used for methylation assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

S-(5′-Adenosyl)-L-methionine (SAM) is anti-apoptotic in normal hepatocytes and normal colon epithelial cells but pro-apoptotic in liver human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), HepG2 cells and colon cancer cells.
Methyl donor; cofactor for enzyme-catalyzed methylations, including catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) and DNA methyltransferases (DNMT).
Methyl donor; cofactor for enzyme-catalyzed methylations, including catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) and DNA methyltransferases (DNMT). Although present in all cells, it is concentrated in liver where 85% of all methylation reactions occur. It is also involved in regulating liver function, growth, and response to injury.

Disclaimer

This material is unstable at room temperature.

General description

S-(5′-Adenosyl)-L-methionine p-toluenesulfonate salt is used for the treatment of depression, liver cirrhosis, cholestasis and degenerative joint disease.

Using bioinformatic homology search tools, this study utilized sequence phylogeny, gene organization and conserved motifs to identify members of the family of O-methyltransferases from lignin-degrading fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium. The heterologous expression and characterization of O-methyltransferases from P. chrysosporium were studied.
