Selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) is a copper-dependent thiol oxidase
Selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) was reported to act as a methanethiol oxidase (MTO) in humans, catalyzing the conversion of methanethiol to hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen sulfide and formaldehyde. Here, we identify copper ions as essential to this novel MTO activity. Site-directed mutagenesis of...
