In enzymology, a methanethiol oxidase (EC 1.8.3.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

methanethiol + O2 + H2O formaldehyde + hydrogen sulfide + H2O2

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are methanethiol, O2, and H2O, whereas its 3 products are formaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, and H2O2. [1]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on a sulfur group of donors with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is methanethiol:oxygen oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include methylmercaptan oxidase, methyl mercaptan oxidase, (MM)-oxidase, and MT-oxidase.

In biochemistry, an oxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes oxidation-reduction reactions, especially one involving dioxygen (O2) as the electron acceptor. In reactions involving donation of a hydrogen atom, oxygen is reduced to water (H2O) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Some oxidation reactions, such as those involving monoamine oxidase or xanthine oxidase, typically do not involve free molecular oxygen.
