Background
This gene encodes a member of the group 2 decarboxylase family. A similar protein in rodents plays a role in multiple biological processes as the rate-limiting enzyme in taurine biosynthesis, catalyzing the decarboxylation of cysteinesulfinate to hypotaurine. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011],
Function
catalytic activity:3-sulfino-L-alanine = hypotaurine + CO(2).,cofactor:Pyridoxal phosphate.,pathway:Organosulfur biosynthesis; taurine biosynthesis; hypotaurine from L-cysteine: step 2/2.,similarity:Belongs to the group II decarboxylase family.,subunit:Homodimer.,
