Tellurite methyltransferase (, TehB) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tellurite methyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * S-adenosyl- L -methionine + tellurite $$\rightleftharpoons$$ S-adenosyl- L -homocysteine + methanetelluronate

The enzyme is involved in the detoxification of tellurite.
