Usage

Description

Cystathionine, a modified amino acid, is generated by enzymic means from homocysteine and serine. It plays a crucial role in the transsulfuration pathway, where it facilitates the transfer of sulfur from methionine to cysteine in mammals. Cystathionine is a white crystalline solid and holds significance in various applications across different industries.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Cystathionine is used as an intermediate for the transsulfuration process, which is essential for the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. This application is vital in the development of treatments for various health conditions related to sulfur amino acid metabolism.
Used in Nutritional Supplements:
Cystathionine is used as a nutritional supplement to support the body's sulfur amino acid metabolism and maintain overall health. It can be particularly beneficial for individuals with specific metabolic disorders or those requiring additional support for their sulfur-containing amino acid pathways.
Used in Research and Development:
Cystathionine serves as a valuable compound in the field of research and development, particularly in the study of sulfur amino acid metabolism, transsulfuration pathways, and related health conditions. It can be used to develop new therapeutic strategies and understand the underlying mechanisms of various diseases.
Used in Diagnostics:
Cystathionine can be utilized in diagnostic applications to assess the functionality of the transsulfuration pathway and identify potential metabolic disorders or deficiencies related to sulfur amino acid metabolism. This can aid in the early detection and treatment of such conditions.
