Functions as thioether S-methyltransferase and is active with a variety of thioethers and the corresponding selenium and tellurium compounds, including 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde, dimethyl selenide, dimethyl telluride, 2-methylthioethylamine, 2-methylthioethanol, methyl-n-propyl sulfide and diethyl sulfide. Plays an important role in the detoxification of selenium compounds. Catalyzes the N-methylation of tryptamine and structurally related compounds. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-263 from human INMT, fused to His-SUMO-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
