ENZYME entry: EC 1.13.11.19
| Accepted Name |
|---|
| Cysteamine dioxygenase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Cysteamine oxygenase. |
| Persulfurase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| 2-aminoethanethiol + O(2) <=> hypotaurine |
| Cofactor(s) |
|---|
| Iron.
|
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Involved in the biosynthesis of taurine.
- Requires catalytic amounts of a cofactor-like compound, such as
sulfur, sufide, selenium or methylene blue for maximal activity.
- 3-aminopropanethiol (homocysteamine) and 2-mercaptoethanol can also
act as substrates, but glutathione, cysteine, and cysteine ethyl- and
methyl esters are not good substrates.
