Methionine Metabolism

Molecular classification
Pathway, Metabolic Pathway
01

Overview

Methionine metabolism refers to the network of biochemical pathways that utilize, recycle, and transform methionine—an essential sulfur-containing amino acid—within cells. Methionine is vital for protein synthesis, methylation reactions, antioxidant defense, and cellular signaling in all organisms.
