+ reduced acceptor
 

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are taurine, water, and an electron acceptor. Its products are sulfoacetaldehyde, ammonia, and reduced acceptor.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is taurine:acceptor oxidoreductase (deaminating). This enzyme is also called taurine:(acceptor) oxidoreductase (deaminating). This enzyme participates in nitrogen metabolism.
