Human Gene BHMT (ENST00000274353.10) from GENCODE V44
Description: Homo sapiens betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase (BHMT), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_001713) RefSeq Summary (NM_001713): This gene encodes a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of betaine and homocysteine to dimethylglycine and methionine, respectively. Defects in this gene could lead to hyperhomocyst(e)inemia, but such a defect has not yet been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. Gencode Transcript: ENST00000274353.10 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000145692.15 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg38 chr5:79,111,809-79,132,288 Size: 20,480 Total Exon Count: 8 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg38 chr5:79,111,886-79,131,116 Size: 19,231 Coding Exon Count: 8
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
