EC 1.13.11.19     
Accepted name: cysteamine dioxygenase
Reaction: cysteamine + O2 = hypotaurine
For diagram of taurine biosynthesis, click here
Glossary: cysteamine = 2-aminoethanethiol
Other name(s): ADO (gene name); persulfurase; cysteamine oxygenase; cysteamine:oxygen oxidoreductase
Systematic name: 2-aminoethanethiol:oxygen oxidoreductase
Comments: A non-heme iron protein that is involved in the biosynthesis of taurine. 3-Aminopropanethiol (homocysteamine) and 2-sulfanylethan-1-ol (2-mercaptoethanol) can also act as substrates, but glutathione, cysteine, and cysteine ethyl- and methyl esters are not good substrates [1,3].
