Application

L-Cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate was used in the synthesis of polycarbophil-cysteine conjugate.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cysteine is a non-essential, thiol-containing amino acid that has protective effects in normal tissues. It is converted to glutathione that decreases the effects of chemotherapeutic and radiation agents. This might restrict the effect of therapeutic agents used for cancer treatment.

Invadopodia are matrix-degrading membrane protrusions in invasive carcinoma cells enriched in proteins that regulate actin polymerization. The on-off regulatory switch that initiates actin polymerization in invadopodia requires phosphorylation of tyrosine residues 421, 466, and 482 on cortactin. However, it is
