Tst Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase activity; 5S rRNA binding activity; and thiosulfate-cyanide sulfurtransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in epithelial cell differentiation and rRNA import into mitochondrion. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human TST (thiosulfate sulfurtransferase).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Tst often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
