Homocysteine (Hcy)
- Target
- Hcy
- Molecular classification
- Amino Acid, Metabolite, Intermediate
01
Overview
Homocysteine is a non-proteinogenic, sulfur-containing α-amino acid found in the blood. It is an intermediate in methionine and cysteine metabolism. Elevated levels are associated with increased risk for cardiovascular diseases and other health issues.
02
Mechanism of action
N/A - Homocysteine itself is not directly targeted by drugs but its metabolism is influenced by vitamin supplementation.
