Figure 1 Methionine metabolic pathway in the liver highlighting the importance of the methyltransferase-catalyzed reactions maintained by the cycling of the main participants, methionine, S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) and homocysteine.
The hepatocellular ratio of SAM to SAH is critical in controlling many transmethylation reactions.
