Yuan, Borchardt: "Photoaffinity labeling of human placental S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase with [2-3H]8-azido-adenosine." in: The Journal of biological chemistry, Vol. 270, Issue 27, pp. 16140-6, (1995) (PubMed).
Adenosylhomocysteine is a competitive inhibitor of S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyl transferase reactions, therefore adenosylhomocysteinase may play a key role in the control of methylations via regulation of the intracellular concentration of adenosylhomocysteine.
