Identifier	MERB
Protein name	RecName: Full=Alkylmercury lyase; EC=4.99.1.2; AltName: Full=Organomercurial lyase;
Gene name	Name=merB;

Comments [?]

FUNCTION	Cleaves the carbon-mercury bond of organomercurials such as phenylmercuric acetate. One product is Hg(2+), which is subsequently detoxified by the mercuric reductase.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY	Reaction=an alkylmercury + H(+) = an alkane + Hg(2+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:18777, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16793, ChEBI:CHEBI:18310, ChEBI:CHEBI:83725; EC=4.99.1.2;
SIMILARITY	Belongs to the MerB family.
