hyperosmolarity (405 mosmol/l) suppresses Bhmt mRNA expression whereas hypoosmotic (205 mosmol/l) conditions induce Bhmt mRNA expression. Like hyperosmotic NaCl, hyperosmotic raffinose but not hyperosmotic urea suppresses Bhmt mRNA expression. Osmosensitivity of Bhmt mRNA expression is impaired by inhibitors of tyrosine kinases and cyclic nucleotide-dependent kinases

physiological function
identification of interactions of betaine homocysteine S-methyltransferase in normal liver. S-methylmethionine homocysteine methyltransferase or betaine homocysteine methyltransferase 2, methionine adenosyltransferases alpha1 and alpha2, cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit alpha, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid dioxygenase and aldolase b. Network analysis identified 122 nodes and 165 edges, as well as a limited number of KEGG pathways that comprise the biosynthesis of amino acids, cysteine and methionine metabolism, the spliceosome and metabolic pathways
physiological function
-
in rats fed methionine and choline-deficient diet, betaine supplementation reverses the reduction of methionine and S-adenosylmethionine, and the elevation of homocysteine levels in the liver, due to the induction of betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase and methionine adenosyltransferase MAT

LITERATURE
medicine

osmotic regulation of BHMT may be part of a cell volume-regulatory response and additionally lead to metabolic alterations that depend on the availability of betaine-derived methyl groups
nutrition
-
rats fed a casein-based diet lacking folate exhibit a 53% increase in circulating homocysteine concentrations compared with rats fed a casein-based diet including folate. Serum homocysteine does not differ between rats fed casein-based diet including folate and egg protein-based diet lacking folate. Hepatic BHMT activity is increased by 45% and 40% by the egg protein-based diet and whole egg-based diet compared with the casein-based diets, respectively
