Activating Compound

Activating Compound	Comment	Organism	Structure
betaine	only slightly increased homocysteine remethylation in response to addition of betaine to diets containing 0.07 and 0.24% supplemental methionine	Gallus gallus
additional information	dietary methionine level does not significantly affect BHMT-dependent homocysteine remethylation or the relative proportion of homocysteine that is remethylated by BHMT, also choline appears to have little impact on BHMT-dependent remethylation	Gallus gallus

Application

Application	Comment	Organism
additional information	in contrast to previous suppositions based on enzyme activity, under most dietary conditions, the quantity of homocysteine remethylated by methionine synthase appeared to exceed that remethylated by the alternate betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase pathway	Gallus gallus
