Type: | Family | Name: | Cysteine oxygenase/2-aminoethanethiol dioxygenase |
Description: | This entry includes cysteine oxidases (PCOs) from plants and 2-aminoethanethiol dioxygenases (ADOs) from animals. PCOs oxidize N-terminal cysteine residues, thus preparing the protein for N-end rule pathway-mediated proteasomal degradation []. ADO is responsible for endogenous cysteamine dioxygenase activity []. | Short Name: | PCO/ADO |
