Methyl halide transferase (EC 2.1.1.165, MCT, methyl chloride transferase, S-adenosyl-L-methionine:halide/bisulfide methyltransferase, AtHOL1, AtHOL2, AtHOL3, HMT, S-adenosyl-L-methionine: halide ion methyltransferase, SAM:halide ion methyltransferase) is an enzyme with system name S-adenosylmethionine:iodide methyltransferase.[1][2][3][4][5][6] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + iodide \rightleftharpoons S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + methyl iodide

This enzyme contributes to the methyl halide emissions from Arabidopsis thaliana.
