== Function ==
'''Methionine γ-lyase''' (MGL) degrades sulfur-containing amino acids to α-keto acids, ammonia and thiols.  It catalyzes the interconversion of L-methionine and water to methanethiol, ammonia and 2-oxobutanoate.  MGL uses pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) as cofactor<ref>PMID:17169919</ref>.
