Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Homocystine
DescriptionL-Homocystine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. L-Homocystine, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as eosinophilic esophagitis and homocystinuria-megaloblastic anemia due to defect in cobalamin metabolism, cblg complementation type; L-homocystine has also been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including homocystinuria due to defect of n(5,10)-methylene thf deficiency and homocystinuria. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on L-Homocystine.
