cysteine dioxygenase, type I Identifiers Symbol CDO1 Entrez 1036 HUGO 1795 OMIM 603943 RefSeq NM_001801 UniProt Q16878 Other data EC number 1.13.11.20 Locus Chr. 5 q23.2 Cysteine dioxygenase (CDO, CAS number: 37256-59-0)) is a mammalian non-heme iron enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of L-cysteine to cysteine sulfinic acid (cysteine sulfinate) by incorporation of dioxygen.
CDO reaction scheme showing cysteine sulfinic acid formation from cysteine by dioxygen incorporationCysteine sulfinic acid lies at a branch-point in cysteine catabolism, where it can follow two pathways resulting in the formation of taurine or sulfate. The cysteine sulfinic acid-dependent pathway of taurine metabolism follows the synthesis of hypotaurine (2-aminoethane sulfinate), which is subsequently oxidized to taurine. Also, cysteine sulfinate can undergo transamination to form β-sulfinylpyruvate, decomposing to form pyruvate and sulfite.
