In enzymology a tetrahydromethanopterin S-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.86) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction5-methyl-5678-tetrahydromethanopterin + 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate 5678-tetrahydromethanopterin + 2-(methylthio)ethanesulfonateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 5-methyl-5678-tetrahydromethanopterin and 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate whereas its two products are 5678-tetrahydromethanopterin and 2-(methylthio)ethanesulfonate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases.
