Biological roles and pharmacological potentials of marine 5-thiohistidine compounds
2021-01-01
Abstract excerpt
5-thiohistidines are histidine-derived thiols first isolated from marine invertebrates in complex with other larger molecules or in free methylated forms. The biosynthesis of these compounds has developed in bacteria, microalgae, and invertebrates, but it has been lost in vertebrates and consequently in humans. Among them, ovothiols are methyl-5-thiohistidines first discovered in sea urchins, where they play a key...
