Trithionate hydrolase

In enzymology, a trithionate hydrolase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

trithionate + H<sub>2</sub>O thiosulfate + sulfate + 2 H<sup>+</sup>

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are trithionate and H<sub>2</sub>O, whereas its 3 products are thiosulfate, sulfate, and H<sup>+</sup>.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on sulfur-sulfur bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is trithionate thiosulfohydrolase. This enzyme participates in sulfur metabolism.
