thiosulfate sulfurtransferase

thiosulfate sulfurtransferase
thio·sul·fate sul·fur·trans·fer·ase (thi-o-sulґfāt sul″fər-transґfər-ās) [EC 2.8.1.1] a mitochondrial enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the conversion of cyanide to thiocyanate, using thiosulfate as a sulfur donor. The reaction is the major physiologic mechanism for detoxifying cyanide.
