  • Betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase 1
Background InformationBetaine, (trimethylglycine) is an organic osmolyte that is available for cells by either choline oxidase-catalyzed synthesis or concentrative uptake by the betaine/GABA transport system (BGT-1). The intracellular accumulation of betaine protects cells from different kinds of stress including long-lasting dehydration, ischemia-reperfusion, and heat shock. Betaine has been considered a “chemical chaperone” because it prevents protein denaturation under adverse conditions, a property that likely contributes to the cytoprotective effects of this osmolyte.
Betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase 1, or betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase (BHMT) is the enzyme that is responsible for the metabolic elimination of betaine and homocysteine via their conversion to dimethylglycine and methionine. As such BHMT is one of a handful of key enzymes keenly responsible for betaine levels. BHMT is expressed at high levels in the human liver and kidney, localizing in the ER and cytoplasmic regions. BHMT expression is largely regulated at the level of the gene. BHMT activity becomes essential when folate-dependent remethylation is impaired because of nutritional deficiencies as it then provides the source for methionine. Deficiencies in BHMT can lead a variety of disorders ranging from vascular disease to neural tube birth defects such as spina bifida, fatty liver disease and cirrhosis all which can be linked to betaine metabolism disorders. EMD-Millipore’s Anti-BHMT mouse monoclonal antibody, clone 635, has been tested in western blots using recombinantly expressed BHMT cDNA and by immunohistochemistry on paraffin embedded human liver tissue samples.
