Selenocystathionine
Selenocystathionine (CAS: 2196-58-9), also known as SeCysta, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-amino acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). Selenocystathionine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Selenocystathionine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, selenocystathionine can be converted into selenocysteine and 2-ketobutyric acid through the action of the enzyme cystathionine gamma-lyase. Selenocystathionine is formed from selenohomocysteine by the enzyme cystathionine beta-synthase (EC 4.2.1.22) as a by-product of cystathionine synthesis. Selenocystathionine is consumed in the diet and is one of the main compounds present in plants that tend to hyperaccumulate selenium for use as an elemental plant defence mechanism (PMID: 10026151, 6456763, 16920881).
