N-Acetyl-L-methionine is a derivative of the amino acid methionine. It serves as a precursor for the synthesis of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAMe), a key methyl donor in various biochemical reactions. N-Acetyl-L-methionine is involved in the methylation of DNA, RNA, proteins, and lipids, playing a role in the regulation of gene expression and protein function. It also participates in the synthesis of polyamines, which are useful for cell growth and proliferation. At the cellular level, N-Acetyl-L-methionine contributes to the maintenance of redox balance and the detoxification of reactive oxygen species. It is involved in the regulation of neurotransmitter levels and the modulation of synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system.
