Metabolite Identification
Common NameS-Carboxymethyl-D-cysteine
DescriptionS-carboxymethyl-D-cysteine is a member of the chemical class known as Alpha Amino Acids and Derivatives. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). S-carboxymethyl-D-cysteine is a product of the reaction of D-cysteine desulfhydraase with chloro-D-alanine, which is part of the chloro-alanine degradation process. D-Cysteine desulfhydrase also catalyzes the beta-replacement reaction of the chlorine of 3-chloro-D-alanine with thioglycolic acid to yield S-carboxymethyl-D-cysteine [PMID:3908101 ]
