betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase | Cytological Location | 5q14.1 |
Brief Description | betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase |
Description | 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
