General annotation (Comments)

Function

Cleaves the carbon-mercury bond of organomercurials such as phenylmercuric acetate. One product is Hg2+, which is subsequently detoxified by the mercuric reductase By similarity. HAMAP-Rule MF_00714

Catalytic activity

An alkylmercury + H+ = an alkane + Hg2+. HAMAP-Rule MF_00714

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the MerB family.
