Methylation pathways (WP704)

Homo sapiens

This pathway describes the addition of methyl groups to small molecules. SAM, S-Adenosyl methionine, is utilized as a methyl donor and SAH is produced. This process is important in drug metabolism. Proteins on this pathway have targeted assays available via the [https://assays.cancer.gov/available_assays?wp_id=WP704 CPTAC Assay Portal]
