Homocysteic acid

Description:
Homocysteic acid is a sulfur-containing amino acid derivative, specifically a non-proteinogenic amino acid that is structurally related to cysteine and homocysteine. It is characterized by the presence of a carboxylic acid group, an amino group, and a sulfonic acid group, which contributes to its unique properties. Homocysteic acid is known to act as a neurotransmitter and is involved in various biochemical pathways, particularly in the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. It can exist in different tautomeric forms and is soluble in water due to its polar functional groups. This compound has garnered interest in neurobiology due to its potential role in excitatory neurotransmission and its involvement in the modulation of synaptic activity. Additionally, homocysteic acid can participate in redox reactions and may influence oxidative stress within biological systems. Its CAS number, 14857-77-3, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks. Overall, homocysteic acid is significant in both physiological and pathological contexts, warranting further research into its functions and implications in health and disease.
