In the field of enzymology, a betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase also known as betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase is a zinc metallo-enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from betaine to homocysteine to produce dimethylglycine and methionine respectively:

• betaine + homocysteine → dimethylglycine + methionine

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases. This enzyme participates in the metabolism of glycine, serine, threonine and also methionine.

Isozymes

In humans, there are two isozymes, BHMT and BHMT2, each encoded by a separate gene.

Tissue distribution

BHMT is expressed most predominantly in the liver and kidney.

Clinical significance

Anomalies in homocysteine metabolism have been implicated in disorders ranging from vascular disease to neural tube birth defects such as spina bifida.
