S-(2-Carboxyethyl)-L-cysteine

Description:

S-(2-Carboxyethyl)-L-cysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid derivative that plays a role in various biochemical processes. It is characterized by the presence of a carboxyethyl group attached to the sulfur atom of the cysteine backbone, which contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound is typically found in biological systems and is involved in the metabolism of sulfur-containing compounds. It exhibits both hydrophilic and hydrophobic characteristics due to its amino acid structure, allowing it to interact with various biomolecules. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional groups enables it to participate in acid-base reactions, while the thiol group can engage in redox reactions, making it relevant in antioxidant activities. Additionally, S-(2-Carboxyethyl)-L-cysteine may have implications in cellular signaling and detoxification processes. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by environmental factors such as pH and temperature, which are important considerations in both laboratory and physiological contexts.
