| 1 | The cyanide-metabolizing enzyme rhodanese in human nasal respiratory mucosa. | Cyanides | thiosulfate sulfurtransferase | Rattus norvegicus |
| 2 | The cyanide-metabolizing enzyme rhodanese is present in rat nasal epithelium at high activity levels. | Cyanides | thiosulfate sulfurtransferase | Rattus norvegicus |
| 3 | The high rhodanese activity in rat nasal epithelium may provide a mechanism for detoxicating inhaled hydrogen cyanide and may also play a role in olfaction by limiting the concentrations of cyanide in the nasal epithelium. | Cyanides | thiosulfate sulfurtransferase | Rattus norvegicus |
| 4 | On a per milligram mitochondrial protein basis, the rhodanese in human nasal tissue exhibited both a lower affinity (higher Km) for cyanide and a lower maximum velocity (Vmax) for cyanide metabolism than did rhodanese from rat nasal tissue. | Cyanides | thiosulfate sulfurtransferase | Rattus norvegicus |
| 5 | On a per milligram mitochondrial protein basis, the rhodanese in human nasal tissue exhibited both a lower affinity (higher Km) for cyanide and a lower maximum velocity (Vmax) for cyanide metabolism than did rhodanese from rat nasal tissue. | Cyanides | thiosulfate sulfurtransferase | Rattus norvegicus |
| 6 | The Vmax/Km ratios for rhodanese from the nasal tissue of nonsmokers were consistently greater, thus suggesting the possibility of higher rates of cyanide metabolism in nonsmokers than in smokers. | Cyanides | thiosulfate sulfurtransferase | Rattus norvegicus |
