Intermediate in transsulfuration whereby the mammal transfers the sulfur of methionine via homocysteine to cysteine | [Description]
L-(+)-Cystathionine is a dipeptide formed by serine and homocysteine. Transsulfuration of methionine yields homocysteine, which combines with serine to form this precursor of cysteine. L-(+)-Cystathionine is largely expressed in the mammalian brain and deficiency can indicate the presence of metabolic disorders such as cystathioninuria. | [Definition]
ChEBI: L-cystathionine is a modified amino acid generated by enzymic means from L-homocysteine and L-serine. It has a role as a human metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a tautomer of a L-cystathionine dizwitterion. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
L-Cystathionine is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of L-cysteine and methionine. It is used as a substrate to differentiate and analyze cystathionine γ-lyase(s). L-Cystathionine is an important non-protein amino acid and is associated with metabolic disorders. In recent studies, L-cystathionine is believed to be the precursor of cyclic imino acid cyclothionine. Cystathioninuria is characterized with imino acid cyclothionine excretion in the urine. | [Purification Methods]
S,S-Cystathionine is purified by converting it to the HCl salt in 20% HCl and carefully basifying with aqueous NH3 until separation is complete. Filter it off and dry it in a vacuum. It forms prisms from H2O. The dibenzoyl derivative has m 229o (from EtOH). [IR: Greenstein & Winitz Chemistry of the Amino Acids (J Wiley) Vol 3 p2690 1961 and Tallan et al.
