Sulfiredoxin (Srx) is one of a family of low molecular weight sulfur containing proteins linked with maintenance of cellular redox balance. One function of Srx is the reduction of cysteine sulfinic ...

A diet rich in the amino acid cysteine may have rejuvenating effects in the small intestine, according to a new study from MIT. This amino acid, the researchers discovered, can turn on an immune ...

All proteins are built from the same 20 amino acids. One of these, cysteine, was assumed not to have been present at the origin of life. In a new study, scientists have recreated how cysteine was ...

Cathepsin B belongs to a family of lysosomal cysteine proteases (enzymes that break down proteins) present inside the cell.

A pigment that makes feathers and hair orange helps prevent cellular damage by removing excess cysteine from cells.

The review explores the potential link between alopecia areata (AA) and cysteine metabolism. Research suggests insufficient cysteine levels or disruptions in its processing could contribute to AA ...

Scientists have uncovered a startling metabolic twist: mice engineered to lack the amino acid cysteine, and fed a cysteine-free diet, shed nearly a third of their body weight in just a week. The ...

People with high levels of the amino acid cysteine have been found to carry between six and ten kilograms more fat than those with lower levels. Now a team of researchers are studying the phenomenon. ...

It has previously been reported that cystinuria, as it appears clinically, represents at least three biochemically and genetically distinct diseases. 13 The present studies were undertaken to ...
