The recycling of homocysteine into methionine. This pathway requires folate and Vitamin B12 and is impacted by MTHFR gene mutations. Methionine then goes onto become S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe). SAMe is the body’s major methyl donor, supplying methyl groups to over 40 methyltransferases (enzymes).
