Description

L-Homocysteine, a homocysteine metabolite, is a homocysteine that has L configuration. L-Homocysteine induces upregulation of cathepsin V that mediates vascular endothelial inflammation in hyperhomocysteinaemia[1][2].

L-homocysteine is a homocysteine that has L configuration. It has a role as a mouse metabolite. It is a homocysteine and a serine family amino acid. It is a conjugate acid of a L-homocysteinate. It is a tautomer of a L-homocysteine zwitterion.|Homocysteine is a thiol-containing amino acid formed by a demethylation of methionine.|Homocysteine is an amino acid derivative and homolog of cysteine containing an additional methylene bridge. Homocysteine is a product of methionine metabolism and elevated plasma levels are associated with cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer disease and several metabolic diseases.|A thiol-containing amino acid formed by a demethylation of METHIONINE.

L-Homocysteine Use and Manufacturing

L-Homocysteine is the hydrolysis product of adenosine (A280400), a purine nucleoside. Metabolic fate of L-Homocysteine is converted back to L-Methionine( M260440) via tetrahydrofolate.
