Description

5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase

Gene Summary

Enables amino acid binding activity; folic acid binding activity; and methionine synthase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to methionine; cellular response to nitric oxide; and sulfur amino acid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Biomarker of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder; type 2 diabetes mellitus; and vitamin B12 deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including IgA glomerulonephritis; artery disease (multiple); autistic disorder; hematologic cancer (multiple); and hyperhomocysteinemia. Orthologous to human MTR (5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
