Trypsin inhibition by macrocyclic and open-chain variants of the squash inhibitor MCoTI-II [PDF]
MCoTl-I and MCoTl-II from the seeds of Momordica cochinchinensis are inhibitors of trypsin-like proteases and the only known members of the large family of squash inhibitors that are cyclic and contain an additional loop connecting the amino- and the ...

Cystine nephrolithiasis: contemporary approaches to patient management
Introduction. Cystinuria is a rare genetic disorder characterised by a markedly elevated concentration of cystine in the urine. Due to the low solubility of cystine in urine, patients with cystinuria face a lifelong increased risk of urinary stone ...

Cysteine, Glutathione, and Thiol Redox Balance in Astrocytes
This review discusses the current understanding of cysteine and glutathione redox balance in astrocytes. Particular emphasis is placed on the impact of oxidative stress and astrocyte activation on pathways that provide cysteine as a precursor for ...

Chronic Sulfasalazine Treatment in Mice Induces System xc− - Independent Adverse Effects
Despite ample evidence for the therapeutic potential of inhibition of the cystine/glutamate antiporter system xc− in neurological disorders and in cancer, none of the proposed inhibitors is selective. In this context, a lot of research has been performed

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.

Contribution of Cystine-Glutamate Antiporters to the Psychotomimetic Effects of Phencyclidine [PDF]
Altered glutamate signaling contributes to a myriad of neural disorders, including schizophrenia. While synaptic levels are intensely studied, nonvesicular release mechanisms, including cystine–glutamate exchange, maintain high steady-state glutamate ...
