Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlutamylcysteine
DescriptionGlutamylcysteine, also known as alpha-glu-cys or E-C, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dipeptides. These are organic compounds containing a sequence of exactly two alpha-amino acids joined by a peptide bond. In cattle, glutamylcysteine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the cysteine metabolism pathway. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Glutamylcysteine.
