Methylated-thiol-coenzyme M methyltransferase ( EC 2.1.1.251, mtsA (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name methylated-thiol:coenzyme M methyltransferase. [1] [2] [3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:

methanethiol + coenzyme Mmethyl-CoM + hydrogen sulfide (overall reaction) (1)
methanethiol + [Co(I) methylated-thiol-specific corrinoid protein] ⇌ [methyl-Co(III) methylated-thiol-specific corrinoid protein] + hydrogen sulfide (1a)
[methyl-Co(III) methylated-thiol-specific corrinoid protein] + coenzyme M ⇌ methyl-CoM + [Co(I) methylated-thiol-specific corrinoid protein] (1b)
