Metabolite Identification
Common NameFarnesylcysteine
DescriptionIn patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) we found increased IgM levels to S-farnesyl-L-cysteine. S-farnesyl-L-cysteine plays a key role in regulating cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis through RAS protein activity. The latter depends on their anchorage to the inner surface of the plasma membrane, which is promoted by their common carboxy-terminal S-farnesyl-cysteine. The presence of antibodies to S-farnesyl-L-cysteine suggest that RAS functions may have undergone damage by oxidative/nitrosative stress, causing disturbed functional activity in the regulation of cell growth.
