MF: C15H22N6O5S
CAS: 29908-03-0
Description：
S-Adenosyl methionine (SAM), also known under the commercial names of SAMe, SAM-e, or AdoMet, is a common cosubstrate involved in methyl group transfers, transsulfuration, and aminopropylation. Although these anabolic reactions occur throughout the body, most SAM is produced and consumed in the liver. More than 40 methyl transfers from SAM are known, to various substrates such as nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and secondary metabolites. It is made from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and methionine by methionine adenosyltransferase.
Application：
This important compound helps the body produce a range of other compounds that aid a number of functions. It helps the body produce neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine that help regulate mood. It also helps the body produce cartilage compounds, such as glycosaminoglycans, to aid joint health. Although SAMe is a natural compound, sometimes the body does not produce enough of it and needs additional intake through supplements.
