Name | BHMT {ECO:0000303|PubMed:8798461} |
---|---|
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. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O09171}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O09171} Note=Predominantly localized in the cytoplasm with a small fraction detected in the nucleus. Translocates into the nucleus upon oxidative stress. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O09171} |
Tissue Location | Found exclusively in liver and kidney. |

Background
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.
