Methionine and derivatives

Methionine (Met) is a sulfur-containing essential amino acid that is not only a component of protein, but also participates in many biochemical reactions, especially as a methyl donor, participating in methylation reactions. Methionine and its derivatives have a variety of key physiological reactions functions in the body, including protein synthesis, methylation reactions, antioxidant protection, cardiovascular health, etc. They are not only crucial in basic biological processes, but also show potential application value in clinical treatment. Understanding the metabolic pathways of Methionine and the functions of its derivatives are of great significance for revealing some disease mechanisms and treatment strategies.
