S-(2-hydroxyethyl)-L-homocysteine

Description:
S-(2-hydroxyethyl)-L-homocysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid derivative that plays a role in various biochemical processes, particularly in the metabolism of homocysteine, an important amino acid in the body. This compound features a hydroxyl group attached to a 2-hydroxyethyl side chain, which contributes to its solubility and reactivity. It is classified as a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not incorporated into proteins but can influence metabolic pathways. The presence of the sulfur atom in its structure is significant for its biological activity, as it can participate in redox reactions and serve as a precursor for other sulfur-containing compounds. S-(2-hydroxyethyl)-L-homocysteine is of interest in research related to cardiovascular health, as elevated levels of homocysteine are associated with various health risks. Its chemical properties, including its molecular weight and stability, make it a subject of study in both pharmacology and biochemistry, particularly in understanding its role in cellular metabolism and potential therapeutic applications.
