Thiosulfate—thiol sulfurtransferase
Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a thiosulfate-thiol sulfurtransferase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- thiosulfate + 2 glutathione sulfite + glutathione disulfide + sulfide
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are thiosulfate and glutathione, whereas its 3 products are sulfite, glutathione disulfide, and sulfide.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the sulfurtransferases, which transfer sulfur-containing groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is thiosulfate:thiol sulfurtransferase. Other names in common use include glutathione-dependent thiosulfate reductase, sulfane reductase, and sulfane sulfurtransferase. This enzyme participates in glutathione metabolism.
