Summary: 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.

What's a GeneRIF?

These findings indicate that decreased liver Bhmt and Cbs-mediated homocysteine metabolism might have a role in hyperhomocysteinemia in polycystic ovary syndrome and provides further evidence for a potential role of decreased liver function in PCOS.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
