Term Name:	obsolete N-alpha,N-alpha,N-alpha-trimethyl-L-histidine biosynthesis from histidine
Synonyms:	hercynine biosynthesis from histidine, histidine betaine biosynthesis from histidine, histidine catabolic process to hercynine, histidine catabolism to hercynine, histidine catabolism to N-alpha,N-alpha,N-alpha-trimethyl-L-histidine
Definition:	OBSOLETE. 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).
