2.8.1.2 | 3-mercaptopyruvate + cyanide |
H2S is produced by 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase with cysteine aminotransferase in the presence of cysteine and alpha-ketoglutarate, supporting the existence of 3-mercaptopyruvate which has not been identified. Mercaptopyruvate can be provided by the metabolism of cysteine and alpha-ketoglutarate by cysteine aminotransferase (CAT) |
