Adenosylhomocysteinase

Adenosylhomocysteinase (EC 3.3.1.1, S-adenosylhomocysteine synthase, S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, S-adenosylhomocysteinase, SAHase, AdoHcyase) is an enzyme that converts S-adenosylhomocysteine to homocysteine and adenosine. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H2O L-homocysteine + adenosine

The enzyme contains one tightly bound NAD+ per subunit.
