S-(2-Carboxypropyl)-L-cysteine（Cat No.:I042516）is a sulfur-containing amino acid derivative involved in cellular metabolism and antioxidant defense. It is formed by the conjugation of L-cysteine with 2-carboxypropyl groups, and its primary role is in the detoxification of reactive molecules, including reactive oxygen species (ROS). This compound has shown potential as a protective agent in oxidative stress-related conditions. Research suggests that S-(2-carboxypropyl)-L-cysteine may contribute to reducing inflammation and promoting cellular repair mechanisms, offering potential therapeutic applications in diseases associated with oxidative damage, such as neurodegenerative disorders and cardiovascular diseases.
