Protein
Sulfoacetaldehyde reductase 2
Organism
Chromohalobacter salexigens (strain DSM 3043 / ATCC BAA-138 / NCIMB 13768)
Function
Catalyzes the formation of isethionate from 2-sulfoacetaldehyde in the deaminative pathway of taurine. Constitutively expressed enzyme that only mediates a small part of the activity observed in taurine-grown cells.
Similarity
Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
