Biochemical synthesis of SAMe and its potential role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters. SAMe is synthesized in the body through a series of biochemical reactions involving folate, vitamin B12, and certain enzymes. SAMe acts as a methyl-donating cofactor in the rate-limiting steps of the chemical reactions, leading to the synthesis of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
