Identification
Name: 5'-Methylthioadenosine
Description:5-Methylthioadenosine is a normal metabolite in Cysteine and methionine metabolism. Spermidine synthase (putrescine aminopropyltransferase)(EC:2.5.1.16) catalyzes the its formation and it is then converted to 5-Methylthio-D-ribose via S-adenosylhomocysteine/5'-methylthioadenosine nucleosidase [EC:3.2.2.9].
