QuickView for BHMT2;jsessionid=E16FFD0139C3C169B831B2D2B08DC4A5 (gene)


Gene Symbol:
BHMT2 Homo sapiens Homo sapiens
Full name:
betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase 2
Synonyms:
S-methylmethionine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase BHMT2, SMM-hcy methyltransferase, betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase 2
Genomic Location:
Chr 5: 78401339-78421045
Description:
Homocysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that plays a crucial role in methylation reactions. Transfer of the methyl group from betaine to homocysteine creates methionine, which donates the methyl group to methylate DNA, proteins, lipids, and other intracellular metabolites. The protein encoded by this gene is one of two methyl transferases th...
