Ometyylöintiä
Ometyylöintiä, often translated as methylation, is a fundamental biochemical process involving the transfer of a methyl group (CH3) from one molecule to another. This seemingly simple reaction plays a crucial role in a vast array of biological functions across all living organisms.
In biological systems, methylation is primarily carried out by enzymes known as methyltransferases. These enzymes utilize
One of the most well-studied roles of ometyylöintiä is in the regulation of gene expression. DNA methylation,
Beyond gene regulation, ometyylöintiä is involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and metabolism, detoxification processes, the synthesis of
