| molecular function |
|---|
| | GO:0008757 | | S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase activity | | Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to a substrate. |
| | GO:0030731 | | guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase activity | | Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + guanidinoacetate = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + creatine + H(+). |
| | GO:0008168 | | methyltransferase activity | | Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group to an acceptor molecule. |
| | GO:0042803 | | protein homodimerization activity | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an identical protein to form a homodimer. |
| | GO:0016740 | | transferase activity | | Catalysis of the transfer of a group, e.g. a methyl group, glycosyl group, acyl group, phosphorus-containing, or other groups, from one compound (generally regarded as the donor) to another compound (generally regarded as the acceptor). Transferase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 2. |
| biological process |
|---|
| | GO:0046498 | | S-adenosylhomocysteine metabolic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways involving S-adenosylhomocysteine; the L-enantiomer is formed from S-adenosylmethionine and is a strong inhibitor of S-adenosylmethionine-mediated methylation reactions. It can be cleaved to form adenosine and homocysteine. |
| | GO:0046500 | | S-adenosylmethionine metabolic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways involving S-adenosylmethionine, S-(5'-adenosyl)-L-methionine, an important intermediate in one-carbon metabolism. |
| | GO:0006601 | | creatine biosynthetic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of creatine, N-[amino(imino)methyl]-N-methylglycine. Creatine is formed by a process beginning with amidino group transfer from L-arginine to glycine to form guanidinoacetate, followed by methyl group transfer from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to guanidinoacetate; it is then is phosphorylated to form a pool that stores high energy phosphate for the replenishment of ATP during periods of high, or fluctuating energy demand. In animals, most creatine is transported to and used in muscle. |
| | GO:1990402 | | embryonic liver development | | The process occurring during the embryonic phase whose specific outcome is the progression of the liver over time, from its formation to the mature structure. |
| | GO:0032259 | | methylation | | The process in which a methyl group is covalently attached to a molecule. |
| cellular component |
|---|
| | GO:0005575 | | cellular_component | | The part of a cell, extracellular environment or virus in which a gene product is located. A gene product may be located in one or more parts of a cell and its location may be as specific as a particular macromolecular complex, that is, a stable, persistent association of macromolecules that function together. |
| | GO:0005737 | | cytoplasm | | All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
| | GO:0005634 | | nucleus | | A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent. |
