			R-HSA-1614654 (Reactome)	Remethylation of homocysteine (HCYS) to methionine (L-Met) can also proceed by using betaine (BET) as a methyl donor, which is oxidised to dimethylglycine (DMGLY). This reaction is also part of choline catabolism, thereby providing a link to folate-dependent, one-carbon metabolism (Li et al. 2008).
			R-HSA-6797653 (Reactome)	Mitochondrial dimethylglycine dehydrogenase (DMGDH) is an enzyme involved in the choline catabolic pathway, mediating the oxidative demethylation of dimethylglycine (DMGLY) to form sarcosine (SARC, aka methylglycine, MeGly) and formaldehyde (CH2O), an active 1-carbon unit (Binzak et al. 2000). DMGDH covalently binds one FAD cofactor per monomer. Defects in DMGDH cause DMGDH deficiency (DMGDHD; MIM:605850), a disorder characterised by a fishy odour and muscle fatigue with increased serum creatine kinase. Biochemically, increased levels of DMGLY are detected in the serum and urine (Binzak et al. 2001).
			R-HSA-6797913 (Reactome)	Mitochondrial sarcosine dehydrogenase (SARDH) oxidatively demethylates sarcosine (SARC, aka methylglycine) to glycine (Gly) and formaldehyde (CH2O), an active 1-carbon unit (Eschenbrenner & Jorns 1999, ). SARDH requires one FAD as cofactor, which is reduced during the reaction. Defects in SARDH cause sarcosinemia (SARCOS; MIM:268900), a disorder characterised by an increased concentration of sarcosine in plasma and increased sarcosine excretion in urine. The clinical phenotypes of sarcosinemia are diverse, ranging from normal (most common) to ones associated with mental retardation, growth delay and muscular abnormalities (Bar-joseph et al. 2012).
			R-HSA-6797955 (Reactome)	Alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH7A1) is a multifunctional enzyme present in mitochondria, nucleus and the cytosol and plays an important role in protecting against hyperosmotic stress and metabolising toxic aldehydes. It is able to oxidise the osmolyte precursor betaine aldehyde (BETALD) to betaine (BET) (as well as the intermediate lysine degradation product, alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde, not shown here) (Brocker et al. 2010). The mitochondrial isoform of ALDH7A1 is shown here.
			R-HSA-6797956 (Reactome)	The choline transporter-like protein 1 (SLC44A1) as an important mediator of choline transport across both the plasma membrane and the mitochondrial membrane. It is an essential step in the oxidation of Cho to betaine, which occurs in the mitochondrial matrix (Michel & Bakovic 2009).
			R-HSA-6797957 (Reactome)	Betaine (BET) is further metabolised in the cytosol and needs to translocate from the mitochondrial matrix to the cytosol. From rat studies, the process is suggested to be simple diffusion (Porter et al. 1993).
			R-HSA-6797961 (Reactome)	Mitochondrial choline dehydrogenase (CHDH), located on the inner mitochondrial membrane, catalyses the oxidation of choline (Cho) to betaine aldehyde (BETALD) using FAD as cofactor. Human CHDH activity is inferred from rat Chdh (Huang & Lin 2003).
			R-HSA-6797962 (Reactome)	Dimethylglycine (DMGLY) is either cleared by the kidneys or is further metabolised in the mitochondrion. Cytosolic DMGLY translocates to the mitochondrial matrix possibly by simple diffusion but the mechanism is unknown (Porter et al. 1993).
