Description

L-Homocystine is the oxidized member of the L-homocysteine. Homocysteine is a pro-thrombotic factor, vasodilation impairing agent, pro-inflammatory factor and endoplasmatic reticulum-stress inducer used to study cardiovascular disease mechanisms.


L,L-homocystine is a homocystine in which both chiral centres have L configuration. It derives from a L-homocysteine. It is a tautomer of a L,L-homocystine zwitterion.
