Adenosylhomocysteinase (EC 3.3.1.1, S-adenosylhomocysteine synthase, S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, S-adenosylhomocysteinase, SAHase, AdoHcyase) is an enzyme that converts S-adenosylhomocysteine to homocysteine and adenosine.^[1]^[2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H₂O

\rightleftharpoons

L-homocysteine + adenosine

The enzyme contains one tightly bound NAD⁺ per subunit.
