Cystatins
The cystatins are a family of cysteine protease inhibitors with homology to chicken cystatin. Cystatins typically comprise about 115 amino acids, are largely acidic, contain four conserved cysteine residues known to form two disulfide bonds, may be glycosylated and/or phosphorylated, with similarity..

Cysteamine
Cysteamine is an medication (trade name Cystagon) used in the treatment of disorders of cystine excretion. Cysteamine cleaves the disulfide bond with cysteine to produce molecules that can escape the metabolic defect in cystinosis and cystinuria. Cysteamine has a free thiol and amine group. ..

Cysteine
Cysteine is a naturally occurring amino acid which has a thiol group and is found in most proteins, though only in small quantities. When it is exposed to air it oxidizes to form cystine, which is two cysteine molecules joined by a disulfide bond. N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is derived from cystei..

Cysteine dioxygenase
Cysteine dioxygenase (CDO, EC [1.13.11.20]; CAS number: 37256-59-0)) is a mammalian non-heme iron enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of L-cysteine to cysteine sulfinic acid (cysteine sulfinate) by incorporation of dioxygen. CDO reaction scheme showing cysteine sulfinic acid formation ..

Cysteine metabolism
Cysteine metabolism is comprised of the biological pathways that consume or create cysteine. The pathways of different amino acids and other metabolites interweave and overlap to creating complex systems. Human cysteine metabolism In human cysteine metabolism, L-cysteine is consumed in several way..

Cysteine protease
Proteases are enzymes that degrade polypeptides. Cysteine proteases have a common catalytic mechanism that involves a nucleophilic cysteine thiol in a catalytic triad. The first step is deprotonation of a thiol in the enzyme's active site by an adjacent amino acid with a basic side chain, usually a ..

Cystercosis
Cystercosis is a rare and recently recognized disease that affects the human nervous system. Contents 1 Etiology2 Incubation3 Symptoms4 Treatment Etiology Cystercosis is caused by consuming the larval form of the parasitic tapeworm Taenia solium. The larvae eventually affe..

Cysths
Bone Scan analysis is considered a very "fuzzy" field of radiological diagnosis. In many cases, what one radiologist might consider to be an area of "high uptake" in a bone scan is consered to be an area of "low uptake" by another. Bone Scan quantification is currently done by human analysis, result..

Cysticercoid
A cysticercoid is the larval stage of certain tapeworms, similar in appearance to a cysticercus, but having the scolex filling completely the enclosing cyst. In tapeworm infestations, cysticercoids can be seen in free form as well as enclosed by cysts in biological tissues such as the intestinal m..

Cysticercosis
Cysticercosis, or neurocysticercosis, is the most common parasitic infection of the central nervous system worldwide. It is caused by larvae of the tapeworm, Taenia solium, normally found in pork. The larvae, called cysticerci (singular cysticercus; also called bladder worms) form cysts in the bod..

Cystic duct
The cystic duct is the short duct that joins the gall bladder to the common bile duct. It usually lies next to the cystic artery. It is of variable length. It contains a 'spiral valve', which does not provide much resistance to the flow of bile. Bile can flow in both directions between the gall..

Cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common hereditary disease that affects the entire body, causing progressive disability and early death. Breathing difficulties are the most common symptom and result from frequent lung infections, which are treated, though not always cured, by antibiotics and other medica..

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) is a non-profit organization in the United States established to provide information about cystic fibrosis and to encourage cystic fibrosis research. The CFF was established in 1955 by a group of volunteers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In addition to providing ..

Cystic medial necrosis
Cystic medial necrosis (also referred to as cystic medial degneration) is a disorder of large arteries, in particular the aorta, where there is a focal degeneration of the elastic tissue and the muscle in the tunica media (the middle layer of the artery), with the presence of mucoid material in the ..

Cystidium
A cystidium (plural cystidia) is a relatively large sterile cell found on the hymenium of a basidiomycete (for example, on the surface of a mushroom gill), often between clusters of basidia. Since cystidia have highly varied and distinct shapes that are often unique to a particular species or genus,..

Cystine
Chemical structure of cystine formed from L-cysteine (under biological conditions) 3D representation of cystine with the disulfide bond shown in yellow Cystine is a conditionally non-essential crystalline, sulfur-containing amino acid. Amino acids are called non-essential when they are..

Cystinosis
Cystinosis is a hereditary disorder of the renal tubules characterized by the presence of carbohydrates and amino acids in the urine, excessive urination, and low blood levels of potassium ions and phosphates. The body accumulates the amino acid cystine within cells. Excess cystine forms crystals t..

Cystocele
A cystocele (SIS-tuh-seal) is a medical condition that occurs when the wall between a woman's bladder and her vagina weakens and allows the bladder to droop into the vagina.
