Cysteine (CYS) is a non-essential sulfur containing amino acid in humans related to cystine. Cysteine is important for protein synthesis detoxification and diverse metabolic functions. It is found in beta-keratin which comprises the main protein in nails skin and hair. Cysteine is also important in collagen production as well as skin elasticity and texture. A component of the antioxidant glutathione cysteine plays a role in the metabolism of essential biochemicals such as coenzyme A heparin and biotin. An elevated level of total cysteine can predict cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndromes. Cysteine deficiency is known to be one of the consequences of aging.
