                2.8.1.2 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase
IUBMB Comments
The enzyme catalyses a transsulfuration reaction from 2-oxo-3-sulfanylpropanoate to an internal cysteine residue. In the presence of a dithiol such as reduced thioredoxin or dihydrolipoate, the sulfanyl sulfur is released as hydrogen sulfide. The enzyme participates in a sulfur relay process that leads to the 2-thiolation of some tRNAs and to protein urmylation by transferring sulfur between the NFS1 cysteine desulfurase (EC 2.8.1.7) and the MOCS3 sulfurtransferase (EC 2.8.1.11).

physiological function
attenuation of 3MST by shRNA or pharmacological inhibition of 3MST significantly reduces endothelial cell proliferation,migration, and tube-like network formation. 3MST silencing also suppresses VEGF-induced endothelial cell migration. 3MST attenuation decreases mitochondrial respiration and mitochondrial ATP production, increases glucose uptake, and perturbes the entire endothelia cell metabolome
