Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Dehydrogenase, Monomethylglycine
  • Monomethylglycine Dehydrogenase
  • N-Demethylase, Sarcosine
  • Sarcosine N Demethylase
  • Sarcosine N-Demethylase

Scope note

  • A LIVER mitochondrial matrix flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of SARCOSINE to GLYCINE and FORMALDEHYDE. Mutation in the enzyme causes sarcosinemia, a rare autosomal metabolic defect characterized by elevated levels of SARCOSINE in BLOOD and URINE.
