======= BHMT ======= == Gene Information == * **Official Symbol**: BHMT * **Official Name**: betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase * **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A * **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=635|635]] * **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q93088|Q93088]] * **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=BHMT&organism=9606|BioGRID]] * **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20BHMT|Open PubMed]] * **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/602888|Open OMIM]] == Function Summary == * **Entrez Summary**: This gene encodes a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of betaine and homocysteine to dimethylglycine and methionine, respectively. Defects in this gene could lead to hyperhomocyst(e)inemia, but such a defect has not yet been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: Involved in the regulation of homocysteine metabolism. Converts betaine and homocysteine to dimethylglycine and methionine, respectively. This reaction is also required for the irreversible oxidation of choline. |S-methyl trans| |regulation of homocysteine metabolic process| |betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase activity| |regulation of sulfur amino acid metabolic process| |amino-acid betaine catabolic process| |choline catabolic process| |L-methionine biosynthetic process| |L-methionine salvage| |amino acid salvage| |choline metabolic process| |methionine biosynthetic process| |regulation of sulfur metabolic process| |methionine metabolic process| |amino-acid betaine metabolic process| |S-adenosylmethionine metabolic process| |sulfur amino acid biosynthetic process| |cellular biogenic amine catabolic process| |amine catabolic process| |neurotransmitter catabolic process| |aspartate family amino acid biosynthetic process| |cellular modified amino acid catabolic process| |cellular metabolic compound salvage| |sulfur amino acid metabolic process| |aspartate family amino acid metabolic process| |cellular biogenic amine metabolic process| |cellular amine metabolic process| |regulation of cellular amino acid metabolic process| |alpha-amino acid biosynthetic process| |amine metabolic process| |regulation of cellular amine metabolic process| |cellular amino acid biosynthetic process| |neurotransmitter metabolic process| |protein alkylation| |protein methylation| |regulation of cellular ketone metabolic process| |sulfur compound biosynthetic process| |ammonium ion metabolic process| |cellular modified amino acid metabolic process| |alpha-amino acid metabolic process| |coenzyme metabolic process| |macromolecule methylation| |carboxylic acid biosynthetic process| |organic acid biosynthetic process| |cellular amino acid metabolic process| |methylation| |regulation of neurotransmitter levels| |sulfur compound metabolic process| |regulation of small molecule metabolic process| |cellular nitrogen compound catabolic process| |cofactor metabolic process| |drug metabolic process| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |zinc ion binding| |carboxylic acid metabolic process| |oxoacid metabolic process| |organic acid metabolic process| |organonitrogen compound catabolic process| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |small molecule metabolic process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
