Packaging 5, 25, 100 mg in glass bottle Biochem/physiol Actions Methyl donor; cofactor for enzyme-catalyzed methylations, including catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) and DNA methyltransferases (DNMT). Although present in all cells, it is concentrated in liver where 85% of all methylation reactions occur. It is also involved in regulating liver function, growth, and response to injury. Caution This material is very unstable at room temperature. Analysis Note Purity based on UV and HPLC.
