Function | Initiates several important metabolic pathways related to pyruvate and several sulfurate compounds including sulfate, hypotaurine and taurine. Critical regulator of cellular cysteine concentrations. Has an important role in maintaining the hepatic concentation of intracellular free cysteine within a proper narrow range. |
Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in liver and placenta. Low expression in heart, brain and pancreas. Also detected in hepatoblastoma Hep-G2 cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10427686}. |
