sulfite oxidase /sul·fite ox·i·dase/ (ok´sĭ-dās) an oxidoreductase that catalyzes the oxidation of sulfite to sulfate as well as the detoxification of sulfite and sulfur dioxide from exogenous sources. It is a mitochondrial hemoprotein containing molybdenum; deficiency results in progressive neurologic abnormalities, lens dislocation, and mental retardation.

sulfite sulfoxidation			They can harm you if your Sulfite Oxidase enzyme (a chemical that converts one chemical to another chemical) is low. The Five Worst Foods You Can Eat by Myla Madson / Food/cooking/nutrition community 15) It has been theorized that, by interfering with the activity of the detoxifying enzyme sulfite oxidase (which requires molybdenum), a deficiency may increase the risk of developing non-specific symptoms due to toxicity from sulfur dioxide and dietary sulfites. The effect of minerals on pain by Werbach, Melvyn R. / Townsend Letter We also included discovery of polymorphic forms of genes that code for enzymes that are inhibited by tungsten: xanthine dehydrogenase, sulfite oxidase (SUOX gene), and aldehyde oxidase.
