Thetin-homocysteine S-methyltransferase

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is dimethylsulfonioacetic acid:L-homocysteine S-methyltransferase. Other names in common use include dimethylthetin-homocysteine methyltransferase, and thetin-homocysteine methylpherase.
