Dimethylamine-corrinoid protein Co-methyltransferase

Dimethylamine-corrinoid protein Co-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.249, mtbB (gene), dimethylamine methyltransferase) is an enzyme with systematic name dimethylamine:5-hydroxybenzimidazolylcobamide Co-methyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

dimethylamine +

\rightleftharpoons

+ methylamine

This enzyme is involved in methanogenesis from dimethylamine.
