BHMT Involved in the regulation of homocysteine metabolism. Converts betaine and homocysteine to dimethylglycine and methionine, respectively. This reaction is also required for the irreversible oxidation of choline. Found exclusively in liver and kidney. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
