Metabolite Identification
Common NameTrimethyl sulfonium
DescriptionTrimethyl sulfonium belongs to the class of organic compounds known as organosulfur compounds. These are organic compounds containing a carbon-sulfur bond. Trimethyl sulfonium has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make trimethyl sulfonium a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Trimethyl sulfonium is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on Trimethyl sulfonium.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in methyltransferase activity
Specific function:
Functions as thioether S-methyltransferase and is active with a variety of thioethers and the corresponding selenium and tellurium compounds, including 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde, dimethyl selenide, dimethyl telluride, 2-methylthioethylamine, 2-methylthioethanol, methyl-n-propyl sulfide and diethyl sulfide. Plays an important role in the detoxification of selenium compounds (By similarity). Catalyzes the N-methylation of tryptamine and structurally related compounds.
