Molecule Identification

Common Name

Gamma-glutamyl-Cysteine

Definition

Gamma-glutamyl-Cysteine is a dipeptide composed of gamma-glutamate and cysteine. It is an incomplete breakdown product of protein digestion or protein catabolism. Some dipeptides are known to have physiological or cell-signaling effects although most are simply short-lived intermediates on their way to specific amino acid degradation pathways following further proteolysis. This dipeptide has not yet been identified in human tissues or biofluids and so it is classified as an 'Expected' metabolite.
