Protein attributes

Sequence length	363 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	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 By similarity.
Catalytic activity	Trimethylammonioacetate + L-homocysteine = dimethylglycine + L-methionine.
Cofactor	Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit By similarity.
Pathway	Amine and polyamine degradation; betaine degradation; sarcosine from betaine: step 1/2. Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-methionine biosynthesis via de novo pathway; L-methionine from L-homocysteine (BhmT route): step 1/1.
Subunit structure	Homotetramer By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Contains 1 Hcy-binding domain.
