Description
Not considered one of the 20 amino acids, Cystine is a sulfur-containing derivative obtained from oxidation of cysteine amino acid thiol side chains. It functions as an antioxidant and protects tissues against radiation and pollution, slowing the aging process. It also aids protein synthesis. Cystine is abundant in many proteins of skeletal tissues and skin, and found in insulin and digestive enzymes chromotrypsinogen A, papain, and trypsinogen.

Chemical Information

(-)-Cystine

L-cystine is the L-enantiomer of the sulfur-containing amino acid cystine. It has a role as an EC 1.2.1.11 (aspartate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase) inhibitor, a flour treatment agent, a mouse metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite and a human metabolite. It is a cystine, a non-proteinogenic L-alpha-amino acid and a L-cysteine derivative. It is a conjugate acid of a L-cystine anion. It is an enantiomer of a D-cystine. It is a tautomer of a L-cystine zwitterion.
