Metabolite Identification
Common NameThiosulfate
DescriptionThiosulfate, also known as thiosulfuric acid or [so2(OH)(SH)], belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as non-metal thiosulfates. These are inorganic non-metallic compounds containing a thiosulfate as its largest oxoanion. Thiosulfate is an extremely strong acidic compound (based on its pKa). Thiosulfate exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.

Enzymes

General function:
Inorganic ion transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Together with MRPL18, acts as a mitochondrial import factor for the cytosolic 5S rRNA. Only the nascent unfolded cytoplasmic form is able to bind to the 5S rRNA (By similarity). Formation of iron-sulfur complexes and cyanide detoxification. Binds molecular oxygen and sulfur.
