2.1.1.5 | L-homocysteine + betaine |
reduced BHMT activity in cirrhotic livers may explain the elevated plasma homocysteine levels in cirrhosis |
2.1.1.5 | L-homocysteine + betaine |
the enzyme can be modified by tissue-type transglutaminase and its activity is regulated repressively by the modification, especially by the cross-linking. This regulatory reaction might be involved in the regulation of homocysteine metabolism in the liver |
2.1.1.5 | N,N,N-trimethylglycine + L-homocysteine |
enzyme cristallin in lens |
2.1.1.5 | N,N,N-trimethylglycine + L-homocysteine |
i.e. betaine, involved in betaine metabolism |
