One-Carbon Metabolism: Linking Nutritional Biochemistry to Epigenetic Programming of Long-Term Development
9 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
One-carbon (1C) metabolism comprises a series of interlinking metabolic pathways that include the methionine and folate cycles that are central to cellular function, providing 1C units (methyl groups) for the synthesis of DNA, polyamines, amino acids, creatine, and phospholipids. S-adenosylmethionine is a potent aminopropyl and methyl donor within these cycles and serves as the principal substrate for methylation...
