DE   Cysteamine dioxygenase.
AN   Cysteamine oxygenase.
AN   Persulfurase.
CA   2-aminoethanethiol + O(2) = hypotaurine.
CF   Iron.
CC   -!- Involved in the biosynthesis of taurine.
CC   -!- Requires catalytic amounts of a cofactor-like compound, such as
CC       sulfur, sufide, selenium or methylene blue for maximal activity.
CC   -!- 3-aminopropanethiol (homocysteamine) and 2-mercaptoethanol can also
CC       act as substrates, but glutathione, cysteine, and cysteine ethyl- and
CC       methyl esters are not good substrates.
