Let’s explore “Homocysteine”

Explore folate, B12, B6, and homocysteine in a bone-health discussion.

Everyone talks about MTHFR. But what if that is only one piece of the puzzle? MTHFR helps process folate, while MTR helps recycle homocysteine back into methionine with the help of vitamin B12. Two genes. Different roles. One interco

Supports DNA synthesis and one-carbon metabolism, including the pathway that processes homocysteine.

BHMT helps recycle homocysteine into methionine using betaine. It is a different route from the folate and B12 pathway.

CBS helps move homocysteine into the pathway that supplies building blocks for glutathione.

CHDH helps convert choline toward betaine, a nutrient involved in the homocysteine pathway.

The homocysteine chapters include MTHFD1L in the wider folate-related genetic map.

Makes the methionine synthase enzyme, which uses vitamin B12 in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine.

Helps maintain the activity of methionine synthase, connecting B12-related chemistry with homocysteine metabolism.
