Summary: Predicted to enable betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within digestive system development and type B pancreatic cell development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in hepatocyte; liver; yolk; and yolk syncytial layer. Orthologous to several human genes including BHMT (betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
