l‐Cysteine metabolism and its nutritional implications
Abstract
l‐Cysteine is a nutritionally semiessential amino acid and is present mainly in the form of l‐cystine in the extracellular space. With the help of a transport system, extracellular l‐cystine crosses the plasma membrane and is reduced to l‐cysteine within cells by thioredoxin and reduced glutathione (GSH). Intracellular l‐cysteine plays an important role in cellular homeostasis as a precursor for protein synthesis, and for production of GSH, hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), and taurine. l‐Cysteine‐dependent synthesis of GSH has been investigated in many pathological conditions, while the pathway for l‐cysteine metabolism to form H 2 S has received little attention with regard to prevention and treatment of disease in humans. The main objective of this review is to highlight the metabolic pathways of l‐cysteine catabolism to GSH, H 2 S, and taurine, with special emphasis on therapeutic and nutritional use of l‐cysteine to improve the health and well‐being of animals and humans.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
