NCIt definition : Not considered one of the 20 amino acids, Cystine is a sulfur-containing derivative
obtained from oxidation of cysteine amino acid thiol side chains. It functions as
an antioxidant and protects tissues against radiation and pollution, slowing the aging
process. It also aids protein synthesis. Cystine is abundant in many proteins of skeletal
tissues and skin, and found in insulin and digestive enzymes chromotrypsinogen A,
papain, and trypsinogen. (NCI04);
