ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a human S-adenosyl-L-methionine methyltransferase (SAM-MT) and polynucleotides which identify and encode SAM-MT. The invention also provides expression vectors, host cells, agonists, antibodies and antagonists. The invention also provides methods for treating disorders associated with expression of SAM-MT.
