Application
L-Cysteine has been used:
- as a media supplement in Trypticase-Yeast Extract-Iron-Serum (TYI-S-33) media for the culture of Giardia lamblia,[1] to make enzyme solution in Dulbecco′s modified Eagles medium (DMEM) to establish hippocampus culture[2]
- to test its protective effect on acrylamide induced toxicity in testis[3]
- in the preparation of tris acetic acid extender solution for cryopreservation of semen[4]
- as an additive to make papain digestion solution[5]
Biochem/physiol Actions
NMDA glutamatergic receptor agonist.
General description
L-Cysteine is one of the sulfur containing proteinogenic amino acid incorporated into proteins as directed by the genetic code.[3] The thiol-side chain participates in a variety of oxidation/reduction reactions within the cell. The side chain participates in the formation of β bonds that modulate the secondary and ternary structure of proteins. L-Cysteine is an essential precursor for inorganic sulfates, coenzyme A.[3] Cysteine is an essential and limiting for the formation of glutathione, an important antioxidant, within the cell. Mammalian liver can synthesize L-cysteine and is a semi-essential amino acid. L-cysteine prevents oxidation of nerve cells, aids in maintaining the stability and rigidity of connective tissues. L-cysteine speeds up the healing process of the body and reduces inflammatory reactions. L-cysteine protects testis partially against acrylamide induced toxicity.[3] L-cysteine can prevent DNA damage during cryopreservation and preserves semen quality.[4]
