In the field of enzymology a betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase also known as betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase (BHMT) 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 + methionineThis enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases.
