2-iminoacetate synthase (EC 4.1.99.19, thiH (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name L-tyrosine 4-methylphenol-lyase (2-iminoacetate-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
L-tyrosine + S-adenosyl-L-methionine + reduced acceptor
⇌
{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
2-iminoacetate + 4-methylphenol + 5'-deoxyadenosine + L-methionine + acceptor + 2 H+
This enzyme binds a 4Fe-4S cluster.
