Biochem/physiol Actions
Homocysteine is a sulfhydryl-containing amino acid, synthesized from methionine. It is a non-essential, non-proteinogenic amino acid.[3] It is an important determinant of the methylation cycle and is present in the plasma in four forms. An abnormally high level of homocysteine leads to hyperhomocysteinemia and also promotes atherosclerosis.[4][5]
Increased plasma homocysteine is a risk factor for coronary heart disease and carcinogenesis; may be a marker for tumor cell growth.
