FUNCTION: Catalyzes the methylation of glycine by using S- adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to form N-methylglycine (sarcosine) with the concomitant production of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy). Possible crucial role in the regulation of tissue concentration of AdoMet and of metabolism of methionine. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + glycine = S- adenosyl-L-homocysteine + sarcosine. SUBUNIT: Homotetramer. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Abundant in liver. DISEASE: Defects in GNMT are the cause of glycine N- methyltransferase deficiency (GNMT deficiency) [MIM:606664]; also known as hypermethioninemia. The only clinical abnormalities in patients with this deficiency are mild hepatomegaly and chronic elevation of serum transaminases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. Glycine N-methyltransferase family. GENE SYNONYMS:GNMT.
