描述
Methylarsonite is found in the arsenate detoxification I pathway.
Two molecules of glutathione reacts with methylarsonate to produce glutathione disulfide and methylarsonite. Methylarsonate reductase catalyzes this reaction.
Methylarsonite reacts with S-adenosyl-L-methionine to produce S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine and dimethylarsinate. Methylarsonite methyltransferase catalyzes this reaction. [HMDB]
