Summary
Enables amino acid binding activity; folic acid binding activity; and methionine synthase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to methionine; cellular response to nitric oxide; and sulfur amino acid metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Biomarker of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder; type 2 diabetes mellitus; and vitamin B12 deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including IgA glomerulonephritis; artery disease (multiple); autistic disorder; hematologic cancer (multiple); and hyperhomocysteinemia. Orthologous to human MTR (5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
Expression
Biased expression in Kidney (RPKM 195.0), Adrenal (RPKM 138.5) and 9 other tissues See more

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.
