Metabolite Identification
Common NameCysteic acid
DescriptionCysteic acid, also known as cysteate or 3-sulfoalanine, 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). An amino sulfonic acid that is the sulfonic acid analogue of cysteine. Cysteic acid is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Cysteic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, cysteic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, cysteic acid can be converted into taurine through its interaction with the enzyme cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase. In addition, cysteic acid can be converted into taurine through its interaction with the enzyme glutamate decarboxylase 1. In humans, cysteic acid is involved in taurine and hypotaurine metabolism.
