Description

cystathionine gamma-lyase CYS3

Gene Summary

Enables cystathionine gamma-lyase activity and cysteine-S-conjugate beta-lyase activity. Involved in cysteine biosynthetic process via cystathionine; positive regulation of hydrogen sulfide biosynthetic process; and transsulfuration. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amino acid metabolic disorder and cystathioninuria. Orthologous to human CTH (cystathionine gamma-lyase).
