Human Gene MPST (ENST00000401419.7) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (MPST), transcript variant 2, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_001013436)
RefSeq Summary (NM_001013436): This protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the transfer of a sulfur ion from 3-mercaptopyruvate to cyanide or other thiol compounds. It may be involved in cysteine degradation and cyanide detoxification. There is confusion in literature between this protein (mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase, MPST), which appears to be cytoplasmic, and thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (rhodanese, TST, GeneID:7263), which is a mitochondrial protein. Deficiency in MPST activity has been implicated in a rare inheritable disorder known as mercaptolactate-cysteine disulfiduria (MCDU). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding same or different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. Sequence Note: The RefSeq transcript and protein were derived from genomic sequence to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on alignments.

-  Comments and Description Text from UniProtKB
  ID: THTM_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase; Short=MST; EC=2.8.1.2;
FUNCTION: Transfer of a sulfur ion to cyanide or to other thiol compounds. Also has weak rhodanese activity. May have a role in cyanide degradation or in thiosulfate biosynthesis.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: 3-mercaptopyruvate + cyanide = pyruvate + thiocyanate.
SUBUNIT: Monomer or disulfide-linked homodimer (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm.
DOMAIN: The structure consists of 2 domains of very similar conformation, suggesting a common evolutionary origin. However, the sequences of the 2 domains are very different.
SIMILARITY: Contains 2 rhodanese domains.
CAUTION: Was originally (PubMed:1953758) thought to be rhodanese.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
