Application

S-(5′-Adenosyl)-3-thiopropylamine has been used as a calibrant solution to spike human urine samples for solid-phase extraction studies. It has also been used as an analyte in capillary electrophoresis (CE) and micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC).

Biochem/physiol Actions

S-(5′-Adenosyl)-3-thiopropylamine or S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine comprises base, sugar or amino acid. It acts as an inhibitor for spermidine synthase and spermine synthase.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Other Notes

This decarboxylated S-Adenosyl-L-methionine is an important metabolite in polyamine biosynthesis, acting as aminopropyl group donor for propylamine transferases such as spermine synthase and spermidine synthase.

Aminopropyltransferases are essential enzymes that form polyamines in eukaryotic and most prokaryotic cells. Spermidine synthase (SpdS) is one of the most well-studied enzymes in this biosynthetic pathway. The enzyme uses decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine and a short-chain polyamine (putrescine) to make a

A new approach for direct determination of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), and methylthioadenosine (MTA) in urine was developed based on MEKC by using SDS modified with isobutanol in the presence of PEG-300. Analytes were first extracted with grafted phenylborononic acid.

1. S-Adenosyl-l-methionine, S-adenosyl-l-homocysteine, 5'-methylthioadenosine and a number of analogues having changes in the base, sugar or amino acid portions of the molecule were tested as potential inhibitors of spermidine synthase and spermine synthase from rat ventral prostate. 2. S-Adenosyl-l-methionine was
