An increased concentration of homocysteine (Hcy) is considered an independent and graded cardiovascular risk factor. Hcy can be non-specifically activated by methionyl-tRNA synthetase to Homocysteine thiolactone (HTL). HTL is hydrolyzed to Hcy by the paraoxonase/Thiolactonase (PON1) enzyme. PON1...
