In enzymology, a precorrin-8X methylmutase (EC 5.4.99.61) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

precorrin-8X ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ hydrogenobyrinate

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, , and one product, .

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular transferases transferring other groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is precorrin-8X 11,12-methylmutase. Other names in common use include precorrin isomerase, hydrogenobyrinic acid-binding protein and CobH. This enzyme is part of the biosynthetic pathway to cobalamin (vitamin B₁₂) in aerobic bacteria.
