Neurological and cardiovascular abnormalities occur in patients with severe genetic hyperhomocysteinemia and lead to premature death due to vascular complications. Although it is considered a non-protein amino acid, studies over the past dozen years have discovered mechanisms by which homocysteine becomes a component of proteins. Homocysteine-containing proteins lose their normal biological function and become auto-immunogenic and pro-thrombotic. In this book, the author, a pioneer and a leading contributor to the field, describes up-to date studies of the biological chemistry of homocysteine-containing proteins, as well as pathological consequences and clinical implications of their formation. This is a comprehensive account of the broad rangeof basic science and medical implications of homocysteine-containing proteins for health and disease. | | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | | 关键词 | genetic hyperhomocysteinemia; homocysteine; methionine metabolism; Protein Structure; metabolic disease | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-7091-1410-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-7091-1720-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-7091-1410-0 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag Wien 2013 |
