| Other name(s): |
methionine synthase cob(II)alamin reductase (methylating); methionine synthase reductase; [methionine synthase]-cobalamin methyltransferase (cob(II)alamin reducing); [methionine synthase]-methylcob(I)alamin,S-adenosylhomocysteine:NADP+ oxidoreductase |
| Systematic name: |
[methionine synthase]-methylcob(III)alamin,S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine:NADP+ oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
In humans, the enzyme is a flavoprotein containing FAD and FMN. The substrate of the enzyme is the inactivated cobalt(II) form of EC 2.1.1.13, methionine synthase. Electrons are transferred from NADPH to FAD to FMN. Defects in this enzyme lead to hereditary hyperhomocysteinemia. |
