Carbonyl sulfide hydrolase

UniProtKB accession:  H1AAP2

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the degradation of carbonyl sulfide (COS) to hydrogen sulfide and CO(2) (PubMed:23406161, PubMed:29199215). May function as one of the microbial sinks for ambient COS, which is an atmospheric trace gas leading to sulfate aerosol formation, thereby participating in the global radiation balance and ozone chemistry (PubMed:23406161). Shows little CO(2) hydration activity and poor carbon disulfide (CS(2)) hydrolysis activity (PubMed:23406161).
