Description

N-Acetylcysteamine is a synthetic substrate that is used as a biological probe in the study of mitochondrial function and membrane permeability. It can be used to activate fatty acids by converting them to their corresponding malonic acid derivatives, which are then used for the synthesis of fatty acids. The acetyl group on cysteamine is an important structural component for its biological properties. N-Acetylcysteamine can also be used as a precursor for other molecules such as tetronic acid and hydroxylamine.
