Description
Homocysteine, an amino acid with the formula HSCH2CH2CH(NH2)CO2H, is a homologue of the amino acid cysteine, differing from it only by an additional methylene (-CH2-) group. It is biosynthesized from methionine by the removal of its terminal Cε methyl group. Homocysteine can be recycled into methionine or converted into cysteine with B-vitamins.
