PY - 2018 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Sulfur-containing amino acids have various important roles: They mediate the transfer of methyl groups for virtually all transmethylation reactions; they provide reactive thiol groups that are needed for detoxification of endogenous and exogenous substances; they help maintain the intracellular redox potential; and they are a source of sulfate. More than 20 disorders of sulfur-containing amino acid metabolism have been described.
