Many mammalian cancer cell lines depend on glutamine as a major tri-carboxylic acid (TCA) cycle anaplerotic substrate to support proliferation. However, some cell lines that depend on glutamine anaplerosis in culture rely less on glutamine catabolism to ...

DETOXICATION OF CYANIDE BY CYSTINE
SUMMARY Chemical studies on the nature of the reaction product between cystine and cyanide ion support formulation of the structure as 2-imino-4-thiazoli- dinecarboxylic acid. The compound was inert metabolically when fed to the rat or when injected. On treatment with acid, a small amount of thio- cyanate was produced.

Our understanding of the molecular basis of cystinuria has deepened as the result of the causative genes, SLC3A1 and SLC7A9, being identified. The proteins coded for by these genes form a heterodimer responsible for reabsorption of filtered cystine in the proximal tubule. Failure of this transport system to be targeted to the apical membrane, as in the

Crystallization of cystine [PDF]
Cystine is an amino acid, which is a constituent of the urinary stones. It also is deposited in eyes, thyroid glands, bone marrow and white blood corpuscles. Crystals of cystine have been grown by both solution and gel methods. Small bunched hexagonal crystals, along with many other morphological crystals of size 0.3 mm across, were obtained.

ABSTRACT Objective Despite the availability of effective therapies for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), the unpredictable nature of disease progression and the variability in individual treatment outcomes call for reliable biomarkers. This pilot study aims to investigate the potential of plasma circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) as predictive biomarkers for ...
