1. Product Overview & Specifications

L-Homocystine (CAS 626-72-2) is a dimeric amino acid formed by the oxidation of homocysteine. It is widely used in biochemical research, pharmaceutical development, and nutritional studies.

Key Specifications:

2. Detailed Applications

• Pharmaceutical Research: Study of homocystinuria, cardiovascular diseases, and oxidative stress mechanisms.
• Cell Culture: Used as a sulfur-containing amino acid supplement in media.
• Enzyme Studies: Substrate for enzymes like cystathionine β-synthase.
• Nutritional Science: Investigation of metabolic pathways involving sulfur amino acids.

3. Usage Scenarios & Best Practices

Example 1: Alzheimer’s Disease Research

Researchers at XYZ University dissolved 10 mg/mL L-Homocystine in PBS to investigate its role in neuronal oxidative stress. Results were published in Journal of Neurochemistry (2023).

Example 2: Industrial Fermentation

ABC Biotech added 0.1% w/v L-Homocystine to bacterial culture media to enhance glutathione production yields by 15%.
