Ahcy - S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase

Enables adenosylhomocysteinase activity; copper ion binding activity; and protein self-association. Acts upstream of or within S-adenosylhomocysteine catabolic process. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypermethioninemia with deficiency of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase. Orthologous to human AHCY (adenosylhomocysteinase).
