Related Product Information for anti-GNMT antibody

Glycine N-methyltransferase (GNMT) is a 295 amino acid protein that catalyzes the methylation of glycine by using S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to form N-methylglycine (sarcosine) with the concomitant production of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy). This process indicates that GNMT probably plays a crucial role in the regulation of tissue concentration of AdoMet and in the metabolism of methionine. Originally identified as a methyl donor, AdoMet is now considered a key metabolite that regulates hepatocyte growth, death and differentiation. Biosynthesis of AdoMet occurs in all mammalian cells as the first step in methionine catabolism in a reaction catalyzed by methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT). Decreased hepatic AdoMet biosynthesis is a consequence of all forms of chronic liver injury. In chronic liver AdoMet deficiency, the liver is predisposed to further injury and can develop spontaneous steatohepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, impaired AdoMet metabolism, which occurs in patients with mutations of GNMT, can also lead to liver injury.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (along with glycine) to S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine and sarcosine. This protein is found in the cytoplasm and acts as a homotetramer. Defects in this gene are a cause of GNMT deficiency (hypermethioninemia). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Naturally occurring readthrough transcription occurs between the upstream CNPY3 (canopy FGF signaling regulator 3) gene and this gene and is represented with GeneID:107080644.

Uniprot Description

GNMT: Catalyzes the methylation of glycine by using S- adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to form N-methylglycine (sarcosine) with the concomitant production of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy). Possible crucial role in the regulation of tissue concentration of AdoMet and of metabolism of methionine. Defects in GNMT are the cause of glycine N- methyltransferase deficiency (GNMT deficiency); also known as hypermethioninemia. The only clinical abnormalities in patients with this deficiency are mild hepatomegaly and chronic elevation of serum transaminases. Belongs to the class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. Glycine N-methyltransferase family.
