Product Description: DL-Homocysteine is a weak neurotoxin, and can affect the production of kynurenic acid in the brain. DL-Homocysteine is correlated with Vitamin B12, renal functions and folate levels, affects the cross-sectional cognition indirectly through white matter microstructural integrity[2].
Applications: Metabolism-protein/nucleotide metabolism
Formula: C4H9NO2S
