Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP00408
Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 5645
Name Arsenite methyltransferase
Synonyms
  1. Methylarsonite methyltransferase
  2. S-adenosyl-L-methionine:arsenic(III) methyltransferase
Gene Name AS3MT
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in methyltransferase activity
Specific Function Catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from AdoMet to trivalent arsenicals producing methylated and dimethylated arsenicals. It methylates arsenite to form methylarsonate, Me-AsO(3)H(2), which is reduced by methylarsonate reductase to methylarsonite, Me-As(OH)2. Methylarsonite is also a substrate and it is converted into the much less toxic compound dimethylarsinate (cacodylate), Me(2)As(O)-OH (By similarity).
