PY - 2011 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 22e AB - Sulfur-containing amino acids have various 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 sulphate. Thirteen disorders of sulphur amino acid metabolism have been consistently described, 11 of them potentially leading to disease.
