Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameSelenohomocysteine
DescriptionSelenohomocysteine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. Selenohomocysteine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Within humans, selenohomocysteine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, L-serine and selenohomocysteine can be converted into selenocystathionine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme cystathionine beta-synthase. In addition, selenohomocysteine and adenosine can be biosynthesized from se-adenosylselenohomocysteine; which is mediated by the enzyme adenosylhomocysteinase. In humans, selenohomocysteine is involved in selenoamino acid metabolism. A selenoamino acid that is the selenium analogue of L-homocysteine. Selenohomocysteine is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.
