Thiosulfate-thiol sulfurtransferase (EC 2.8.1.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

The enzyme characterised from Thiobacillus thioparus converts thiosulfate to sulfite and hydrogen sulfide by reaction with two units of glutathione, which is dimerised to glutathione disulfide.[1] The enzyme has also been found in carp liver and yeast.[2][3]

This enzyme is a transferases, specifically a sulfurtransferases, which transfer sulfur-containing groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is thiosulfate:thiol sulfurtransferase. Other names in common use include glutathione-dependent thiosulfate reductase, sulfane reductase, and sulfane sulfurtransferase.[4]
