S-(5′-Adenosyl)-L-methionine chloride (SAM) is a ubiquitous methyl donor involved in a wide variety of biological reactions, including those mediated by DNA and protein methyltransferases.{19419,16924,16845} The transfer of a methyl group from SAM to an acceptor produces S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (Item No. 13603).{16924} SAM is also metabolized by SAM decarboxlase to give decarboxylated SAM, which is involved in the polyamine pathway that generates spermine.{16924} Cayman Chemical’s SAM has been purified to remove all S-adenosylhomocysteine, a known inhibitor of most SAM-dependent methyltransferases which is commonly found in other commercially available SAM. In addition, Cayman’s SAM contains no S-methylthioadenosine, a common impurity which may act as a substrate in some assay formats, resulting in high background.
