18
Q

Glutathione

A

Tripeptide of Glu, Cys, & gly. Controls cysteine redox potential

19
Q

Methionine Degradation

A
  • -> SAM –> SAH –> homocysteine
  • -> Met by methionine synthase Or
  • -> cystathionine by C B-synthase –> cysteine by C y-lyase
20
Q

Hyperhomocysteinemia

A

Elevated. Can cause CVD. Caused by low folate, B6, B12 –> used to treat

21
Q

Cysteinuria

A

Kidney stones (renal failure). From defective cysteine transporter. Treat w/acetazolamide
