N-alpha,N-alpha,N-alpha-trimethyl-L-histidine biosynthesis from histidine
id: GO:0052707
name: N-alpha,N-alpha,N-alpha-trimethyl-L-histidine biosynthesis from histidine
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: The pathway resulting in the formation of N-alpha,N-alpha,N-alpha-trimethyl-L-histidine from histidine. Histidine undergoes three methylations by a histidine-alpha-N-methyltransferase (EC:2.1.1.44) to form N-alpha,N-alpha,N-alpha-trimethyl-L-histidine (also known as hercynine or histidine betaine).
