physiological function | Nnmt overexpression decreases S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) levels and the SAM/S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) ratio both in vivo and in vitro. Nnmt knockdown does not change methyl donor balance in mouse primary hepatocytes but increases SAM levels and the SAM/SAH ratio when Gnmt, the dominantly expressed methyltransferase in liver, is simultaneously knocked down. Expression of enzymatically deficient Nnmt increases the SAM/SAH ratio. Proteins Bhmt, Mat1a, and Ahcy, components of the methionine cycle, interact with NNMT in liver. Mutant Nnmt increases the level of remethylation of homocysteine to SAM | Mus musculus |
