What is Methionine Synthase A2756G Polymorphism?
Methionine synthase catalyses the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine, using 5-methyltetrahydrofolate as the methyl donor and vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) as a cofactor. The A2756G polymorphism may affect enzyme-substrate interaction or stability. Functional activity depends on adequate B12 and folate status, so genetic variation interacts with nutritional sufficiency.
