CSAD - cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase Gene
Also Known as CSD; PCAP
Species: Homo sapiens
About CSAD
This gene has 19 transcripts (splice variants), 201 orthologues and 7 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in fat (RPKM 9.9), skin (RPKM 8.5) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the group 2 decarboxylase family. A similar protein in rodents plays a role in multiple biological processes as the rate-limiting enzyme in taurine biosynthesis, catalyzing the decarboxylation of cysteinesulfinate to hypotaurine. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
