Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Cystathionine
DescriptionL-Cystathionine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-cysteine-s-conjugates. L-cysteine-S-conjugates are compounds containing L-cysteine where the thio-group is conjugated. L-Cystathionine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. L-Cystathionine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. L-Cystathionine is a potentially toxic compound. L-Cystathionine has been found to be associated with several diseases known as autism, alzheimer's disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, and crohn's disease; also l-cystathionine has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including vitamin B12 deficiency.

Enzymes

General function:
Amino acid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes the last step in the trans-sulfuration pathway from methionine to cysteine. Has broad substrate specificity. Converts cystathionine to cysteine, ammonia and 2-oxobutanoate. Converts two cysteine molecules to lanthionine and hydrogen sulfide. Can also accept homocysteine as substrate. Specificity depends on the levels of the endogenous substrates. Generates the endogenous signaling molecule hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and so contributes to the regulation of blood pressure. Acts as a cysteine-protein sulfhydrase by mediating sulfhydration of target proteins: sulfhydration consists of converting -SH groups into -SSH on specific cysteine residues of target proteins such as GAPDH, PTPN1 and NF-kappa-B subunit RELA, thereby regulating their function (By similarity).
