thus allowing oxidation of cysteine to cystine. For this reason cystine and cysteine were measured together in samples of urine by quantitative sulfhydryl determination after electrolytic reduction.

There are 11 human cysteine cathepsins, which primarily function as endopeptidases within endolysosomal compartments. Specific cysteine cathepsins have extracellular functions, for example ...
