A non-heme iron protein that is involved in the biosynthesis of taurine. 3-Aminopropanethiol (homocysteamine) and 2-sulfanylethan-1-ol (2-mercaptoethanol) can also act as substrates, but glutathione, cysteine, and cysteine ethyl- and methyl esters are not good substrates [1,3].

The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms

Synonyms
cysteamine dioxygenase, 2-aminoethanethiol dioxygenase, cysteamine oxygenase, persulfurase, gm237, more
