Function
Heme-containing oxidoreductase which catalyzes the conversion of thiocyanate (SCN(-)) into antimicrobial agent hypothiocyanous acid (OSCN(-)) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Also involved in the conversion of iodide (I(-)) into hypoiodite (IO(-)) in the presence of H2O2. Responsible for the inactivation of a wide range of micro-organisms and hence, important component of defense mechanism.
