BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
thiosulfate:thiol sulfurtransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
thiosulfate + 2 glutathione = sulfite + glutathione disulfide + sulfide [RN:R01875]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
thiosulfate [CPD:C00320];
glutathione [CPD:C00051]
Product
sulfite [CPD:C00094];
glutathione disulfide [CPD:C00127];
sulfide [CPD:C00283]
Comment
The primary product is glutathione hydrodisulfide, which reacts with glutathione to give glutathione disulfide and sulfide. L-Cysteine can also act as acceptor.
Pathway
Glutathione metabolism
