Metabolite Identification
Common NameSelenohomocysteine
DescriptionSelenohomocysteine (CAS: 29412-93-9) is the precursor of selenocysteine, which is synthesized by the catalysis of cystathionine beta-synthase (EC 4.2.1.22) and cystathionine gamma-lyase (EC 4.4.1.1) in mammalian systems (both enzymes require pyridoxal phosphate). Selenohomocysteine (lactone) has been found to be a competitive and irreversible inhibitor of lysyl oxidase; this may relate to the development of connective tissue defects seen in homocystinuria. L-Selenohomocysteine also can serve as a substituent donor in the beta-replacement reaction to yield selenocystathionine (PMID: 10609891 , 9405445 , 6456763 , 3338973 ).
