S-(5'-Adenosyl)-L-methionine tosylate

Description: S-(5'-Adenosyl)-L-methionine tosylate (SAMe) is a ubiquitous methyl donor involved in a wide variety of biological reactions, including those mediated by DNA and protein methyltransferases [1]. S-(5'-Adenosyl)-L-methionine tosylate (SAMe) is a stable salt of SAM that is included in nutritional supplements for oral use [2]. S-(5'-Adenosyl)-L-methionine tosylate (SAMe) reportedly ameliorates depression, pain associated with osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia, and liver toxicity [3]. Target: Others.
