Acciones bioquímicas o fisiológicas

Cysteine is one of the functional amino acids that regulates metabolism for growth, reproduction, maintenance and immunity. Cysteine provides the disulfide linkage in proteins. It is directly associated with the transport of sulfur. Taurine, a metabolic product of cysteine acts as an antioxidant and controls the cellular redox state. Cysteine is involved in the formation of hydrogen sulfide that is utilized as a signaling molecule.
