The transformation of methionine to Hcy involves the demethylation pathway, which provides a methyl group with glycocyamine in the creation of creatinine.
The demethylation pathway is associated with creatinine generation, i.e., S-adenosylmethionine provides a methyl group with glycocyamine on the generation of creatinine.
