Metabolite Identification
Common NameSelenohomocysteine
DescriptionSelenohomocysteine is the precursor of selenocysteine, which is synthesized by catalysis of cystathionine beta-synthase (EC 4.2.1.22) and cystathionine gamma-lyase (EC 4.4.1.1). Selenohomocysteine (lactone) has been found to be a competitive and irreversible inhibitor of lysyl oxidase. L-selenohomocysteine also can serve as a substituent donor in the beta-replacement reaction to yield selenocystathionine. (PMID: 10609891 , 9405445 , 6456763 , 3338973 )
