Application

Anti-TST polyclonal antibody is used to tag thiosulfate sulfurtransferase/rhodanese for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of thiosulfate sulfurtransferase/rhodanese in hydrogen sulfide and cyanide detoxification.

Biochem/physiol Actions

TST is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme that is encoded by the nucleus. It may play roles in cyanide detoxification, the formation of iron-sulfur proteins, and the modification of sulfur-containing enzymes. The product contains two highly conservative domains (rhodanese homology domains), suggesting these domains have a common evolutionary origin.The product of this gene is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme that is encoded by the nucleus.

General description

Thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (rhodanese) (TST, RDS) is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme that facilitates the modification of sulfur-containing enzymes, and detoxification of H2S and cyanide. Thiosulfate sulfurtransferase converts cyanide into thiocyanide.
