S-(Trichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine is a toxic compound formed from the metabolism of trichloroethylene (TCE), a common industrial solvent and environmental contaminant. It is implicated in TCE-induced kidney toxicity and carcinogenesis. S-(Trichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine can bind to cellular proteins, disrupting normal function and leading to cellular damage. Research aims to understand its mechanisms of toxicity and develop interventions for TCE exposure. Monitoring and reducing exposure to TCE are essential to minimize health risks associated with S-(Trichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine.
