Description

2-Methylthiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid is a mitochondrial substrate that is metabolized by the enzyme rhodanese. It can induce cell toxicity in caco-2 cells at high concentrations and has been shown to have a role in the metabolism of acetaldehyde, which is produced during alcohol consumption. 2-Methylthiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid also has an important function in the production of glutathione in the liver, which is important for detoxification reactions. The chemical nature and behavior of this compound are yet to be fully understood.
