S-(2-Amino-2-carboxyethyl)-L-homocysteine

Description:
S-(2-Amino-2-carboxyethyl)-L-homocysteine, also known by its CAS number 61949-06-2, is a sulfur-containing amino acid derivative. It is a structural analog of homocysteine, featuring an additional amino and carboxyl group, which contributes to its unique properties. This compound is characterized by its polar nature, which enhances its solubility in water. It plays a role in various biochemical pathways, particularly in the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids and in the synthesis of proteins. The presence of both amino and carboxyl functional groups allows it to participate in acid-base reactions, making it a zwitterion at physiological pH. Additionally, S-(2-Amino-2-carboxyethyl)-L-homocysteine may have implications in studies related to cardiovascular health and neurological functions due to its involvement in homocysteine metabolism. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by environmental factors such as pH and temperature, which are important considerations in laboratory and biological contexts.
