Background
|
MPST transfer of a sulfur ion to cyanide or to other thiol compounds. MPST also has weak rhodanese activity. MPST may have a role in cyanide degradation or in thiosulfate biosynthesis.This gene encodes a protein which can function as a monomer or as a disulfide-linked homodimer and which catalyzes the transfer of a sulfur ion from 3-mercaptopyruvate to cyanide or other thiol compounds. It may be involved in cyanide degradation and in thiosulfate biosynthesis. The encoded cytoplasmic protein is a member of the rhodanese family but is not rhodanese itself, which is a mitochondrial protein. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified.
