Description:DL-Homocysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is essential for the synthesis of methionine, and is an intermediate in the metabolism of L-methionine. DL-homocysteine has been shown to cause cardiac infarction in rats by inhibiting mitochondrial functions. This amino acid also inhibits the activity of enzymes that regulate homocysteine levels, such as cystathione beta-synthase and cystathione gamma-lyase. DL-homocysteine can be used as a fluorescent probe for detecting proteins involved in apoptosis. It also has proapoptotic effects on cells, causing them to undergo apoptosis.
