EC 1.8.5.2 Details
EC number
1.8.5.2
Accepted name
thiosulfate dehydrogenase (quinone)
Reaction
2 thiosulfate + 6-decylubiquinone = tetrathionate + 6-decylubiquinol
Other name(s)
thiosulfate:quinone oxidoreductase,
thiosulphate:quinone oxidoreductase,
thiosulfate oxidoreductase, tetrathionate-forming,
TQO
Systematic name
thiosulfate:6-decylubiquinone oxidoreductase
Comment
The reaction can also proceed with ferricyanide as the electron acceptor, but more slowly. Unlike EC 1.8.2.2, thiosulfate dehydrogenase, this enzyme cannot utilize cytochrome c as an acceptor.
