1,2-dihydroxy-3-keto-5-methylthiopentene dioxygenase (ADI1)

Catalyzes the formation of formate and 2-keto-4- methylthiobutyrate (KMTB) from 1,2-dihydroxy-3-keto-5- methylthiopentene (DHK-MTPene). Additionally down-regulates cell migration mediated by MMP14.

Necessary for hepatitis C virus replication in an otherwise non-permissive cell line. .
