BHMT; Betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase 1
背景
betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase(BHMT) Homo sapiens 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],
功能
catalytic activity:Trimethylammonioacetate + L-homocysteine = dimethylglycine + L-methionine.,cofactor:Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.,function: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.,pathway:Amine and polyamine degradation; betaine degradation; sarcosine from betaine: step 1/2.,pathway:Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-methionine biosynthesis via de novo pathway; L-methionine from L-homocysteine (BhmT route): step 1/1.,similarity:Contains 1 Hcy-binding domain.,subunit:Homotetramer.,tissue specificity:Found exclusively in liver and kidney.,
