Related Product Information for anti-BHMT antibody
Betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase (BHMT) is a zinc-dependent cytosolic protein that catalyzes the conversion of betaine and homocysteine to dimethylglycine and methionine, respectively. BHMT is highly expressed in rat liver, and its expression is regulated by dietary methionine and choline. In humans, S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) down-regulates BHMT expression by inducing NFkappaB, which acts as a repressor for the BHMT gene. Lowered BHMT levels can lead to ER (endoplasmic reticulum) stress. Mutations in the gene encoding for BHMT may lead to hyperhomocysteinemia, a medical condition characterized by abnormally large amounts of homocysteine in the blood which may be a risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of betaine and homocysteine to dimethylglycine and methionine, respectively. Defects in this gene could lead to hyperhomocyst(e)inemia, but such a defect has not yet been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

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.

Protein type: Amino Acid Metabolism - glycine, serine and threonine; Amino Acid Metabolism - cysteine and methionine; EC 2.1.1.5; Methyltransferase

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 5q14.1

Cellular Component: protein complex; cytoplasm; cytosol

Molecular Function: betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase activity; homocysteine S-methyltransferase activity; zinc ion binding; protein complex binding

Biological Process: S-methylmethionine cycle; protein amino acid methylation; betaine catabolic process; sulfur amino acid metabolic process; S-adenosylmethionine metabolic process; response to organic nitrogen; regulation of homocysteine metabolic process; betaine metabolic process

Product Notes

The BHMT bhmt (Catalog #AAA3014442) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The BHMT Monoclonal Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's BHMT can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS). WB: 1:1,000-1:5,000 ICC: 1:50 IHC: 1:50-1:200 FC/FACS: 1:50-1:100. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the BHMT bhmt for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "BHMT, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
