- Summary
- Molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) is necessary for the function of all molybdoenzymes. One of the enzymes required for the biosynthesis of MoCo is molybdopterin synthase (MPT synthase). The protein encoded by this gene adenylates and activates MPT synthase. This gene contains no introns. A pseudogene of this gene is present on chromosome 14. [provided by RefSeq]

in humans & most eukaryotes thiosulfate is not physiologic sulfur donor for MOCS3, whereas in bacterial homologs, which have arginine at last position of active site loop, thiosulfate can be used as a sulfur source for molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis. |

4. |
MOCS3 protein is believed to catalyze both the adenylation and the subsequent generation of a thiocarboxylate group at the C terminus of the smaller subunit of molybdopterin synthase |

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes
These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain
These reference sequences are curated
independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq
versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the
version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products
above.
