Description
S-(5'-Adenosyl)-L-methionine p-toluenesulfonate salt is a methyl donor and cofactor for enzyme-catalyzed methylations, including catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) and DNA methyltransferases (DNMT). While present in all cells, S-(5'-Adenosyl)-L-methionine p-toluenesulfonate salt is concentrated in cells liver where 85% of all methylation reactions occur.
