| Accepted name: |
taurine dioxygenase |
| Reaction: |
taurine + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = sulfite + aminoacetaldehyde + succinate + CO2 |
| Other name(s): |
2-aminoethanesulfonate dioxygenase; α-ketoglutarate-dependent taurine dioxygenase |
| Systematic name: |
taurine, 2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (sulfite-forming) |
| Comments: |
Requires FeII. The enzyme from Escherichia coli also acts on pentanesulfonate, 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonate and 2-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)ethanesulfonate, but at lower rates. |
