L-Homocysteine

Description:

L-Homocysteine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids, particularly methionine and cysteine. It is classified as a thiol-containing amino acid due to the presence of a sulfhydryl (-SH) group. L-Homocysteine is typically found in the body as an intermediate in the transsulfuration pathway and is involved in the synthesis of cysteine from methionine. Elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood have been associated with various health issues, including cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders, making it an important biomarker in clinical settings. The compound is soluble in water and exhibits a polar nature due to its amino and carboxyl functional groups. L-Homocysteine can exist in different forms, including its oxidized forms, which can further participate in biochemical reactions. Its metabolism is closely linked to vitamins B6, B12, and folate, which are essential for its conversion to other metabolites. Overall, L-Homocysteine is significant in both metabolic pathways and health assessments.
