About HNMT

Cytogenetic location: 2q22.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:137,964,473-138,016,364 (from NCBI)

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 263 orthologues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in liver (RPKM 20.0), fat (RPKM 16.4) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

In mammals, histamine is metabolized by two major pathways: N(tau)-methylation via histamine N-methyltransferase and oxidative deamination via diamine oxidase. This gene encodes the first Enzyme which is found in the cytosol and uses S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the methyl donor. In the mammalian brain, the neurotransmitter activity of histamine is controlled by N(tau)-methylation as diamine oxidase is not found in the central nervous system. A common genetic polymorphism affects the activity levels of this gene product in red blood cells. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
