MTR

A gene on chromosome 1q43 that encodes an enzyme which transfers a methyl group from methyl-cobalamin to homocysteine, yielding enzyme-bound cob(I)alamin and methionine. It then remethylates the cofactor using methyltetrahydrofolate.

Molecular pathology
Defects in MTRR cause methylcobalamin deficiency type E and folate-sensitive neural tube defects.

Less common causes are MTHFR deficiency, defects of methionine synthase [involving mutations in 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase (MTR, also known as CblG)], and defects in vitamin [B.sub.12] metabolism, such as mutations in methionine synthase reductase [5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase reductase (MTRR, also known as CblE)] and the CblD-variant-1 defect of the methylmalonic aciduria (cobalamin deficiency) cblD type, with homocystinuria (MMADHC) gene.

The genes studied were arsenic(+III)methyltransferase (AS3MT), glutathione S-transferase omega 1 (GSTO1), 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase (MTR), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), and glutathione S-transferases mu 1 (GSTM1) and theta 1 (GSTT1).
