| Cat# | BDE-049 |
| Description | Betaine homocysteine S-methyltransferase (BHMT) is a zinc-dependent transferase that catalyzes methyl group transfer in one-carbon metabolism, particularly in homocysteine transmethylation. It regulates plasma Hcy levels, associates with tubulin, and influences apolipoprotein B expression. |
| Applications | Used in homocysteine assay kits to provide a betaine-dependent methylation pathway. |
