Defects in this gene could lead to hyperhomocyst(e)inemia, but such a defect has not yet been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **<color #00a2e8>UniProt Summary</color>**: 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. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |S-methyl trans| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |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| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='default' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> No hits were found. </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 12614 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: 0.49 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='BHMT Expression in NALM6 Cells: 0.49'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2026/01/07 22:36by 127.0.0.1
