Metabolite Identification

Common Name

Methionine sulfoxide

Description

Methionine sulfoxide belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. Methionine sulfoxide is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Methionine sulfoxide exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, methionine sulfoxide participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, methionine sulfoxide can be biosynthesized from L-methionine through its interaction with the enzyme methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase B3. In addition, methionine sulfoxide can be biosynthesized from L-methionine through the action of the enzyme methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase b2, mitochondrial. In humans, methionine sulfoxide is involved in the metabolic disorder called hypermethioninemia.

2. Methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase B2, mitochondrial

General function:: Involved in peptide-methionine-(S)-S-oxide reductase activity
Specific function:: Catalyzes the reduction of free and protein-bound methionine sulfoxide to methionine (By similarity). Upon oxidative stress, may play a role in the preservation of mitochondrial integrity by decreasing the intracellular reactive oxygen species build-up through its scavenging role, hence contributing to cell survival and protein maintenance.
