Details for N-alpha,N-alpha,N-alpha-trimethyl-L-histidine biosynthesis from histidine
2.1.1.44Gene ontology ID
GO:0052707
Definition
The pathway resulting in the formation of N-alpha,N-alpha,N-alpha-trimethyl-L-histidine from histidine. Histidine undergoes three methylations by a histidine-alpha-N-methyltransferase (EC:2.1.1.44) to form N-alpha,N-alpha,N-alpha-trimethyl-L-histidine (also known as hercynine or histidine betaine)
Synonyms
1. hercynine biosynthesis from histidine
2. histidine betaine biosynthesis from histidine
3. histidine catabolic process to hercynine
4. histidine catabolism to hercynine
5. histidine catabolism to N-alpha,N-alpha,N-alpha-trimethyl-L-histidine
