| FooDB Name | L-Cysteine |
|---|
| Description | L-Cysteine, also known as C or e 920, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cysteine and derivatives. Cysteine and derivatives are compounds containing cysteine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of cysteine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. L-Cysteine is a drug which is used for the prevention of liver damage and kidney damage associated with overdoses of acetaminophen. L-Cysteine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). L-Cysteine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, L-cysteine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, L-cysteine can be converted into 3-sulfinoalanine; which is mediated by the enzyme cysteine dioxygenase type 1. In addition, L-cysteine can be converted into hydrogen sulfide and pyruvic acid through the action of the enzyme cystathionine gamma-lyase. In humans, L-cysteine is involved in cysteine metabolism. L-Cysteine is a sulfury tasting compound. Outside of the human body, L-Cysteine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as sunflowers, soy beans, and watermelons and in a lower concentration in common wheats, dates, and beers. L-Cysteine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as oyster mushrooms, salmonberries, rapes, safflowers, and cupuaçus. This could make L-cysteine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. L-Cysteine is a potentially toxic compound. An optically active form of cysteine having L-configuration. |
