S-Adenosylhomocysteine-d4 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of S-Adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), which is employed in biochemical and molecular biology research. It acts as a methyltransferase inhibitor and is used to study the role of methylation in epigenetic regulation and gene expression. The incorporation of deuterium atoms (d4) allows for precise tracing and quantification in mass spectrometry-based experiments, aiding in the investigation of methylation pathways. Researchers use S-Adenosylhomocysteine-d4 to explore the kinetics and dynamics of SAH-dependent reactions, such as transmethylation, and to elucidate the mechanisms by which SAH influences cellular metabolism. Additionally, this compound is instrumental in probing the relationship between methyltransferase activity and various biological processes, including DNA, RNA, and protein methylation. The deuterium labeling enhances the stability of the molecule, reducing the exchange with hydrogen, which is particularly beneficial for in vitro studies.
