2.1.1.334 |
Accepted name: |
methanethiol S-methyltransferase |
Reaction: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + methanethiol = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + dimethyl sulfide |
Other name(s): |
mddA (gene name) |
Systematic name: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:methanethiol S-methyltransferase |
Comments: |
The enzyme, found in many bacterial taxa, is involved in a pathway that converts L-methionine to dimethyl sulfide. |
