L-Cystine is a non-essential dimeric amino acid formed by the oxidation of two L-cysteine molecules. Produced via enzymatic hydrolysis or fermentation, its standard specification features molecular formula C6H12N2O4S2 and CAS No. 56-89-3.
Store in a cool, dry place away from light to prevent oxidation. Clinical use requires monitoring for hypersensitivity; avoid high doses in patients with kidney dysfunction due to sulfur metabolism risks.
