The BHMT-betaine methylation pathway epigenetically modulates oligodendrocyte maturation

Sarah Sternbach et al.

Summary: The presence of BHMT enzyme in oligodendrocytes was confirmed, and betaine was shown to modulate histone and DNA methyltransferase activity through BHMT in these cells. The availability of methyl donors can impact epigenetic changes and maturation in oligodendrocytes. This study highlights the importance of the BHMT-betaine methylation pathway in regulating epigenetic mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases.
