L-Cystine is a non-essential dimeric amino acid formed by the oxidation of two L-cysteine molecules. Produced via enzymatic hydrolysis or chemical synthesis, its molecular formula is C6H12N2O4S2 with CAS No. 56-89-3.
Maintain storage below 25°C in dry, sealed containers to prevent oxidation. Clinical use requires strict dosage control to avoid renal stress; handle with standard PPE to prevent respiratory irritation.
