Metabolite Identification
Common NameThiocyanate
DescriptionThiocyanate, also known as rhodanid or thiocyanic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as thiocyanates. These are salts or esters of thiocyanic acid, with the general formula RSC#N (R=alkyl, aryl). Thiocyanate exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Thiocyanate.

Enzymes

General function:
Inorganic ion transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Together with MRPL18, acts as a mitochondrial import factor for the cytosolic 5S rRNA. Only the nascent unfolded cytoplasmic form is able to bind to the 5S rRNA (By similarity). Formation of iron-sulfur complexes and cyanide detoxification. Binds molecular oxygen and sulfur.
