    text
  • multi-pass membrane protein
  • transported into the mitochondria where it is converted into S-adenosylhomocysteine in methylation reactions of DNA, RNA and proteins
  • basic FUNCTION
  • mediatings the transport of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) into the mitochondria
  • acting as a calcium-dependent mitochondrial aspartate and glutamate carrier
  • may have a function in the urea cycle
  • physiological role of SAMC is probably to exchange cytosolic SAM for mitochondrial S-adenosylhomocysteine
  • synthesized by methionine adenosyltransferase from methionine and ATP in the cytoplasm and subsequently distributed throughout the different cellular compartments, including mitochondria, where methylation is mostly required for nucleic-acid modifications and respiratory-chain function
