Methanethiol is a toxic gas produced through bacterial degradation of sulfur‐containing amino acids. Applying a novel enzymatic assay, we here identified a methanethiol oxidase (MTO) that catalyzes the degradation of methanethiol in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans ( C. elegans ). The corresponding…
The selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) contains selenium probably in the form of selenite. SELENBP1 is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation, and it is downregulated in many types of tumors. To better understand principal functions of SELENBP1 in vivo, the aim of this…
