Identification
Name:Cysteine-S-sulfate
DescriptionCysteine-S-sulfate (SSC) is produced by reaction of inorganic sulfite and cystine by a yet unknown pathway and is a very potent NMDA-receptor agonist. Electrophysiological studies have shown that SSC displays depolarizing properties similar to glutamate. It is an intermediate of cysteine and methionine metabolism.
