Function
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine to form adenosine and homocysteine. Binds copper ions.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm; Melanosome; Nucleus; Endoplasmic reticulum
Disease Association: Hypermethioninemia with S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase deficiency (HMAHCHD) : A metabolic disorder characterized by hypermethioninemia associated with failure to thrive, mental and motor retardation, facial dysmorphism with abnormal hair and teeth, and myocardiopathy. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
Pathway: Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-homocysteine biosynthesis; L-homocysteine from S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine: step 1/1
