Arsenite methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.137, S-adenosyl-L-methionine:arsenic(III) methyltransferase, S-adenosyl-L-methionine:methylarsonite As-methyltransferase, methylarsonite methyltransferase) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:arsenite As-methyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
(1) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + arsenite
⇌
{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + methylarsonate
(2) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + methylarsonite
⇌
{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + dimethylarsinate
An enzyme of the biotransformation pathway that forms dimethylarsinate from inorganic arsenite and arsenate.
