Identification
Common NameSelenocystathionine
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionSelenocystathionine, also known as selenocystathionine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). Selenocystathionine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Selenocystathionine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Selenocystathionine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Selenocystathionine can be converted into selenocysteine and 2-ketobutyric acid through the action of the enzyme cystathionine gamma-lyase. In addition, Selenocystathionine can be biosynthesized from L-serine and selenohomocysteine through the action of the enzyme cystathionine beta-synthase. In cattle, selenocystathionine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the selenoamino acid metabolism pathway.
