Cystine
Explanation: Cystine is an intermediate in amino acid metabolism. Amino acids are the building blocks the body uses to make proteins. It’s important for building proteins, and playing a role in detoxifying harmful substances.
Test purpose:
- Assessment of Cystine Stone Formation: Cystine can form kidney stones in individuals with cystinuria, a genetic disorder where cystine is poorly reabsorbed by the kidneys, leading to high levels in urine and potential stone formation.
- Evaluate amino acid metabolism or antioxidant capacity.
