| Description | 4,4'-Disulfanediylbis(2-aminobutanoic acid) (DL-Homocystine) is the double-bonded form of homocysteine, but it occurs only transiently before being converted to the harmless cystathionine via a vitamin B6-dependent enzyme. Homocystine and homocysteine-cysteine mixed disulfide account for >98% of total homocysteine in plasma from healthy individuals. |
| Synonyms | DL-Homocystine, DL-高胱氨酸 |
