Gene:
betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase
Gene ID:
201028
Symbol:
BHMT
Species:
1000
Description:
Betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of betaine and homocysteine to dimethylglycine and methionine, respectively. Defects in BHMT could lead to hyperhomocyst(e)inemia,but such a defect has not yet been observed.
