- Met
- Molecular classification
- Amino Acid, Essential Amino Acid, Sulfur-containing amino acid
01
Overview
Methionine is an essential sulfur-containing amino acid crucial for protein biosynthesis and metabolism. It serves as a precursor to important biomolecules like cysteine, taurine, SAM-e, and glutathione. It is also involved in DNA transcription, epigenetic expression, and gene regulation. It possesses antioxidant properties and is used in nutritional supplements and medical treatments.
