Metabolite Identification
Common NameEthanethiol
Description This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Ethanethiol is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Ethanethiol is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.

General function:
Not Available
Specific function:
Catalyzes the cleavage of the cysteine-S bond in various cysteine-S-conjugates (PubMed:17191898, PubMed:18515361). Cleaves L-cystathionine, as well as S-substituted cysteine conjugates S-benzyl-L-cysteine and S-ethyl-L-cysteine (PubMed:17191898). Releases four human body odoriferous sulfanylalkanols: 3-methyl-3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3M3SH), 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol, 2-methyl-3-sulfanylbutan-1-ol and 3-sulfanylpentan-1-ol; the release is obtained after the sequential hydrolysis of the Cys-Gly bond of the odorless Cys-Gly-S-conjugate precursors by the dipeptidase TpdA, then the cleavage of the resulting Cys-S-conjugates by MetC (PubMed:17191898, PubMed:18515361).
