CYS-GLY Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Cys-Gly has been used for derivatization by p-hydroxymercury benzoate (PHMB) for calibration of reversed phase chromatography coupled on-line and sequentially with a UV?visible diode array detector (RPLC-DAD).

Definition

ChEBI: A dipeptide consisting of glycine having an L-cysteinyl attached to its alpha-amino group. It is an intermediate metabolite in glutathione metabolism.

General Description

Cys-Gly, a dipeptide is a catabolic byproduct of glutathione.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cys-Gly is a precursor for glutathione biosynthesis in the neurons. It favors reactive oxygen species generation in the presence of transition metal ions. A normal level of cys-gly is essential for normal cellular function.
