L-Cystathionine (Standard)
L-Cystathionine is a nonprotein thioether and is a key amino acid associated with the metabolic state of sulfur-containing amino acids. L-Cystathionine protects against Homocysteine-induced mitochondria-dependent apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) . L-Cystathionine plays an important role in cardiovascular protection[1][2].
