Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase activity; identical protein binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in 'de novo' L-methionine biosynthetic process; L-methionine salvage; and amino-acid betaine metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol; extracellular exosome; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebral infarction and pulmonary embolism. Orthologous to human BHMT (betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase).
