Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Cystine
DescriptionCystine, also known as L-dicysteine or E921, 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. Cystine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Cystine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Cystine has been found to be associated with several diseases known as molybdenum cofactor deficiency, schizophrenia, parkinson's disease, and colorectal cancer; also cystine has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including fumarase deficiency.
