BHMT, Official Symbol BHMTprovided by HGNC Official Full Name betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferaseprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:1047 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000145692 MIM:602888; AllianceGenome:HGNC:1047 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as BHMT1; HEL-S-61p 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.
