Research Abstract |
Invertebrates inhabiting deep-sea hydrothermal vents are thought to use hypotaurine (HT) to detoxify harmful hydrogen sulfide in the environment. In this study, we showed that the taurine transporter (TAUT) has a role to collect HT and its gene expression in the gill cells is correlated to the environmental sulfide level. We conclude that TAUT regulates the process of sulfide detoxification by controlling the amount of HT.
