Anti-Cystathionase Antibody
Predicted to work with: Human
Predicted to work with: Human
Background: Cystathionine gamma-lyase (or cystathionase) is an enzyme which breaks down cystathionine into cysteine and alpha-ketobutyrate. The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the CTH gene to chromosome 1. The CTH gene had earlier been assigned to chromosome 16 by study of somatic cell hybrids. It is demonstrated that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is physiologically generated by CTH.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a cytoplasmic enzyme in the trans-sulfuration pathway that converts cystathione derived from methionine into cysteine. Glutathione synthesis in the liver is dependent upon the availability of cysteine. Mutations in this gene cause cystathioninuria. Alternative splicing of this gene results in three transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
Uniprot Description
CTH: Catalyzes the last step in the trans-sulfuration pathway from methionine to cysteine. Has broad substrate specificity. Converts cystathionine to cysteine, ammonia and 2-oxobutanoate. Converts two cysteine molecules to lanthionine and hydrogen sulfide. Can also accept homocysteine as substrate. Specificity depends on the levels of the endogenous substrates. Generates the endogenous signaling molecule hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and so contributes to the regulation of blood pressure. Acts as a cysteine-protein sulfhydrase by mediating sulfhydration of target proteins: sulfhydration consists of converting -SH groups into -SSH on specific cysteine residues of target proteins such as GAPDH, PTPN1 and NF-kappa-B subunit RELA, thereby regulating their function. Defects in CTH are the cause of cystathioninuria (CSTNU). It is an autosomal recessive phenotype characterized by abnormal accumulation of plasma cystathionine, leading to increased urinary excretion. Belongs to the trans-sulfuration enzymes family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
