Background One-carbon metabolism includes enzymatic reactions involving the transfer of one-carbon groups mediated by folate cofactor. The activated one-carbon groups are used by various metabolic pathways, including purine synthesis, thymidine synthesis, and remethylation of homocysteine to methionine (1). One of the enzymes in one-carbon metabolism, methionine synthase, catalyzes the conversion of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and homocysteine to tetrahydrofolate and methionine. Methionine is further converted to S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) (1, 2). S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is a major reactive methyl carrier and plays a critical role in epigenetic regulation (2, 3).
