Bhmt2

Predicted to enable S-methylmethionine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase activity and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in L-methionine salvage; S-adenosylmethionine metabolic process; and S-methylmethionine metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital heart disease. Orthologous to human BHMT2 (betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Bhmt2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
