Chemical Information
NameS-(5'-Adenosyl)-L-homocysteine
DescriptionS-Adenosylhomocysteine, also known as adenosyl-homo-cys or adohcy, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma butyrolactones. Gamma butyrolactones are compounds containing a gamma butyrolactone moiety, which consists of an aliphatic five-member ring with four carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and bears a ketone group on the carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom. An organic sulfide that is the S-adenosyl derivative of L-homocysteine. S-Adenosylhomocysteine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). S-Adenosylhomocysteine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, S-Adenosylhomocysteine has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as arrowhead, guava, purslanes, kiwis, and gooseberries. This could make S-adenosylhomocysteine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. S-Adenosylhomocysteine is a potentially toxic compound.
