D-Homocysteine

Description:
D-Homocysteine, with the CAS number 6027-14-1, is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is a derivative of homocysteine. It is characterized by the presence of a thiol group (-SH), which contributes to its reactivity and biological significance. D-Homocysteine is typically found in the body as a result of methionine metabolism and plays a role in various biochemical pathways, including the synthesis of cysteine and the regulation of homocysteine levels. Elevated levels of homocysteine, including its D-form, have been associated with cardiovascular diseases and other health issues. The compound is soluble in water and exhibits polar characteristics due to its amino and carboxyl functional groups. D-Homocysteine can exist in different stereoisomeric forms, but the D-form is less common in biological systems compared to its L-counterpart. Its study is important in understanding metabolic disorders and the potential therapeutic implications of amino acid metabolism.
