MAT2A

Function

Catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP. The reaction comprises two steps that are both catalyzed by the same enzyme: formation of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) and triphosphate, and subsequent hydrolysis of the triphosphate.

Pathway

Amino-acid biosynthesis; S-adenosyl-L-methionine biosynthesis; S-adenosyl-L-methionine from L-methionine: step 1/1.

Sequence Similarities

Belongs to the AdoMet synthase family.

Tissue Specificity

Detected in kidney.

Alternative names

AMS2, MATA2, MAT2A, S-adenosylmethionine synthase isoform type-2, AdoMet synthase 2, Methionine adenosyltransferase 2, Methionine adenosyltransferase II, MAT 2, MAT-II
