Metabolite Identification
Common NameSelenocystathionine
DescriptionSelenocystathionine, also known as selenocystathionine, 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). Selenocystathionine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Selenocystathionine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Selenocystathionine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Selenocystathionine can be converted into selenocysteine and 2-ketobutyric acid through the action of the enzyme cystathionine gamma-lyase. In addition, Selenocystathionine can be biosynthesized from L-serine and selenohomocysteine through the action of the enzyme cystathionine beta-synthase. In cattle, selenocystathionine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the selenoamino acid metabolism pathway.

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).
