Description | BHMT: betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase. This protein is 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. |
Immunogen | Purified recombinant fragment of BHMT expressed in E. Coli. |
Formulation | Ascitic fluid containing 0.03% sodium azide. |
Gene ID | 635 |

Other Names | Betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase 1, 2.1.1.5, BHMT |
Dilution | WB~~1/500 - 1/2000 IHC~~1/200 - 1/1000 |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | BHMT Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
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. |
