Metabolite Identification
Common NameCysteic acid
DescriptionCysteic acid, also known as cysteic acid or Cysteic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). Cysteic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Cysteic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Cysteic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Cysteic acid can be converted into taurine through the action of the enzyme cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase. In addition, Cysteic acid can be converted into taurine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme glutamate decarboxylase 1. In cattle, cysteic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the taurine and hypotaurine metabolism pathway.
