S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.31, MTA deaminase, 5-methylthioadenosine deaminase) is an enzyme with systematic name S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine amidohydrolase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following hydrolysis reaction, giving ammonia as a byproduct:

5'-S-methyl-5'-thioinosine

The enzyme from Thermotoga maritima also functions as an S-adenosylhomocysteine deaminase.[2] In Pseudomonas aeruginosa this is the first step in the catabolism of 5′-methylthioadenosine. The product is acted on by S-methyl-5'-thioinosine phosphorylase to give S-methyl-5-thio-α-D-ribose 1-phosphate and hypoxanthine.[3]
