Entry term(s) cisteinamina
mercaptamina
Scope note: Compuesto mercaptoetilamina derivado endógenamente en la vía de degradación del ACETILCOENZIMA A. El hecho de que la cisteamina sea rápidamente transportada a los LISOSOMAS donde reacciona con la CISTINA formando disulfuro de cisteína-cisteamina ha conducido a su uso en los DEPLETORES DE CISTINA para el tratamiento de la CISTINOSIS.

Scope note: A mercaptoethylamine compound that is endogenously derived from the COENZYME A degradative pathway. The fact that cysteamine is readily transported into LYSOSOMES where it reacts with CYSTINE to form cysteine-cysteamine disulfide and CYSTEINE has led to its use in CYSTINE DEPLETING AGENTS for the treatment of CYSTINOSIS.
