Description |
betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase |
| Gene Summary |
Enables betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in methionine biosynthetic process; protein methylation; and response to alcohol. Located in cytosol; extracellular space; and nucleus. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of metabolic dysfunction and alcohol associated liver disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebral infarction and pulmonary embolism. Orthologous to human BHMT (betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase).
