adenosylhomocysteinase-like 2

Symbol

AHCYL2 (may also be known as: None)

Organism

Human

Description

The protein encoded by this gene acts as a homotetramer and may be involved in the conversion of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine to L-homocysteine and adenosine. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]
