The Ledger of a Single Methyl Group: How NNMT Rewrites Cellular Methylation Capacity
Picture the NNMT reaction as an accounting exercise: SAM is the wallet, SAH the IOU, and histone methylation is where the money is spent. This article walks through the bookkeeping and reconciliation of this methyl ledger in four steps.

Why NNMT Appears at the Frontier of Both Cancer and Obesity Research
The same 29 kDa cytosolic enzyme is used by tumors to rewrite epigenetics and by adipose tissue to link with obesity. This article dissects the mechanism evidence and translational progress of NNMT along both disease lines.

NNMT: An Epigenetic Switch on the Nicotinamide Metabolic Branch
NNMT catalyzes nicotinamide and SAM into 1-MNA and SAH, connecting the NAD+ salvage pathway with methylation metabolism. This review covers its catalytic mechanism, epigenetic effects, disease associations and in vitro research essentials.
