Term ID

GO:0052707

Synonyms

hercynine biosynthesis from histidine
histidine betaine biosynthesis from histidine
histidine catabolic process to hercynine
histidine catabolism to hercynine
histidine catabolism to N-alpha,N-alpha,N-alpha-trimethyl-L-histidine

Definition

The pathway resulting in the formation of N-alpha,N-alpha,N-alpha-trimethyl-L-histidine from histidine. Histidine undergoes three methylations by a histidine-alpha-N-methyltransferase (EC:2.1.1.44) to form N-alpha,N-alpha,N-alpha-trimethyl-L-histidine (also known as hercynine or histidine betaine). 2.1.1.44
