General annotation (Comments)

Function	Adenosylhomocysteine is a competitive inhibitor of S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyl transferase reactions; therefore adenosylhomocysteinase may play a key role in the control of methylations via regulation of the intracellular concentration of adenosylhomocysteine By similarity.
Catalytic activity	S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H2O = L-homocysteine + adenosine.
Cofactor	Binds 1 NAD per subunit By similarity.
Pathway	Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-homocysteine biosynthesis; L-homocysteine from S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine: step 1/1.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the adenosylhomocysteinase family.
