Summary: Enables methionine adenosyltransferase activity. Involved in S-adenosylmethionine biosynthetic process and negative regulation of lipid storage. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in body wall musculature; dorsal nerve cord; and ventral nerve cord. Used to study lipid metabolism disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypermethioninemia and lung cancer. Orthologous to human MAT1A (methionine adenosyltransferase 1A) and MAT2A (methionine adenosyltransferase 2A).

What's a GeneRIF?

blmp-1 is necessary for controlling histone methylation level in daf-7 mutants, suggesting BLMP-1 regulates the expression of SAMS-1, which in turn may regulate histone methylation and dauer formation.Our results reveal a new interaction between BLMP-1/BLIMP-1 and LIN-40/MTA1, as well as potential epigenetic downstream pathways

SAMS-1 and PMT-1 were shown to contribute to the homoeostasis of TG and PC levels in C. elegans, which would provide an important survival strategy under harsh environmental conditions.
