| Primary Identifier | MGI:1339972 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 12116 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within methionine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in extracellular exosome and nucleus. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricle and choroid plexus; early conceptus; gonad; liver; and male reproductive gland or organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebral infarction and pulmonary embolism. Orthologous to human BHMT (betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit slow postnatal weight gain, altered homocysteine, choline, and one-carbon homeostasis, fatty liver, and hepatocellular carcinomas.
