Defective AHCY causes HMAHCHD
Click the image above or here to open this pathway in the Pathway Browser
Adenosylhomocysteinase (AHCY) is a tetrameric, NAD+-bound, cytosolic protein that regulates all adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) dependent transmethylations by hydrolysing the feedback inhibitor adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) to homocysteine (HCYS) and adenosine (Ade-Rib). Defects in AHCY cause Hypermethioninemia with S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase deficiency (HMAHCHD; MIM:613752), a metabolic disorder characterised by hypermethioninemia associated with failure to thrive, psychomotor retardation, facial dysmorphism with abnormal hair and teeth and myocardiopathy (Baric et al. 2004).
