Betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase (BHMT) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of betaine and homocysteine to dimethylglycine and methionine, respectively. BHMT displays differential expression in a model of liver cirrhosis. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to human BHMT, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
