Dimethylamine-corrinoid protein Co-methyltransferase

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


 * dimethylamine + [Co(I) dimethylamine-specific corrinoid protein] $$\rightleftharpoons$$ [methyl-Co(III) dimethylamine-specific corrinoid protein] + methylamine

This enzyme is involved in methanogenesis from dimethylamine.
