Mtr - 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase Gene

Also Known as methioninesynthase

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 81522

Summary

Enables amino acid binding activity; folic acid binding activity; and methionine synthase activity. Involved in several processes, including alpha-amino acid metabolic process; cellular response to methionine; and cellular response to nitric oxide. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Biomarker of type 2 diabetes mellitus and vitamin B12 deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including IgA glomerulonephritis; autistic disorder; hematologic Cancer (multiple); hyperhomocysteinemia; and methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type cblG. Orthologous to human MTR (5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
