Background Information
ADO, or 2-aminoethanethiol dioxygenase, cysteamine dioxygenase, is a thiol dioxygenase in humans that adds two oxygen atoms to cysteamine, forming hypotaurine (PMID: 39637922). ADO has been reported to exhibit two distinct biological functions with a nonheme iron center. It catalyzes oxidation of both cysteamine in sulfur metabolism and N-terminal cysteine-containing proteins or peptides, such as regulator of G protein signaling 5 (RGS5) (PMID: 34508780). ADO is ubiquitously expressed with the highest levels in brain, heart, and skeletal muscle. Western blot analysis detected two bands at 28~30 kDa as indicated in publications (PMID: 17581819).
