Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 635
Gene name Betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase
Gene symbol BHMT
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
BHMT1HEL-S-61p
Chromosome 5
Chromosome location 5q14.1
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. [provid
