BHMT2 (Betaine-Homocysteine S-Methyltransferase 2) functions similarly to its counterpart, BHMT, in homocysteine metabolism, crucial for cardiovascular and neurological well-being. It assists in converting homocysteine to methionine, albeit less extensively studied than BHMT. This gene's activity impacts homocysteine levels in the body, with potential implications for heart health and neurological conditions. Understanding BHMT2's role could further clarify its contribution to metabolic pathways and disease risk....

The DNA Methylation Test from GetTested provides a comprehensive analysis of your body's methylation capabilities by exploring key genes such as MTHFR, COMT, BHMT, and several others. We also offer a DNA Methylation + AHCY test that, in addition to this test, also analyzes AHCY. By analyzing these genes, the test offers insights into how your body manages crucial biological processes like gene expression, DNA repair, and detoxification. Methylation plays a vital role in many of the body's functions and can influence everything from energy production to mental well-being. This test is ideal for those seeking a deeper understanding of their health at a molecular level and wishing to tailor their diet, lifestyle, and potential supplements based on personal genetic predispositions.
