CBS domains form energy-sensing modules whose binding of adenosine ligands is disrupted by disease mutations [PDF]

, 2004
CBS domains are defined as sequence motifs that occur in several different proteins in all kingdoms of life. Although thought to be regulatory, their exact functions have been unknown.

The endogenous production of hydrogen sulphide in intrauterine tissues [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Hydrogen sulphide is a gas signalling molecule which is produced endogenously from L-cysteine via the enzymes cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE).

Endogenous Hydrogen Sulfide Contributes to Tone Generation in Porcine Lower Esophageal Sphincter Via Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger

Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2018
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a major physiologic gastrotransmitter. Its role in the regulation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function remains unknown. The present study addresses this question.

Association of selected genetic variants in CBS and MTHFR genes in a cohort of children with homocystinuria in Sri Lanka

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Background Homocystinuria is an inherited, inborn error of homocysteine metabolism, which leads to the abnormal accumulation of homocysteine and its metabolites in blood and urine, resulting in various complications.

Health Functionalities of Betaine in Patients With Homocystinuria

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2021
Homocystinuria is a medical condition that can have widespread and harmful effects on multiple organ systems within the body. This disease is caused by a deficiency in one of the enzymes involved in the methionine metabolism pathway. One example would be

Homocystinuria and ocular complications – A review

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022
Homocystinuria is a rare metabolic inborn disorder caused due to dysfunctional cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) enzyme activity, thus resulting in elevated levels of methionine and homocysteine in the blood and urine.

Role of folate metabolizing genes and homocysteine in mothers of Down syndrome children

Tzu Chi Medical Journal, 2022
Objectives: Folates are essential nutrients required for the synthesis of DNA/RNA in cell division and segregation. Folates are reduced and methylated in the liver with the help of enzymes such as methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), MTR MTRR ...

Prenatal maternal stress induces visceral hypersensitivity of adult rat offspring through activation of cystathionine--synthase signaling in primary sensory neurons

Molecular Pain, 2018
Irritable bowel syndrome is a disorder of unknown etiology characterized by widespread, chronic abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements. Increasing amounts of evidence indicate that stressors presented during gestational periods could have

Endogenous H2S producing enzymes are involved in apoptosis induction in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

BMC Cancer, 2018
Background Knowledge about the expression and thus a role of enzymes that produce endogenous H2S - cystathionine-β-synthase, cystathionine γ-lyase and mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase - in renal tumors is still controversial.
