Specific examples of methylation in detoxification: Arsenic detoxification requires sequential methylation: arsenite to monomethylarsonic acid to dimethylarsinic acid (the excretable form), catalyzed by arsenic methyltransferase (AS3MT) using SAM-e R Mercury undergoes methylation by gut bacteria, converting inorganic mercury to more toxic methylmercury (this is detrimental methylation, not detoxification) R COMT methylation of 4-hydroxy catechol estrogens prevents them from forming reactive quinones that generate ROS and DNA damage R 6
Transport of ALCAR across cell membranes, including the blood-brain barrier, is primarily mediated by the organic cation/carnitine transporter 2 (OCTN2, encoded by SLC22A5), a sodium-dependent transporter expressed on the luminal side of endothelial cells [5]
