Biochem/physiol Actions

L-C-Propargylglycine, a specific inhibitor of H(2)S synthase of cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE), may be used to study the role of H2S in regulation of biological processes.
L-propargylglycine (PAG), an inhibitor of cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), is useful in studies of hydrogen sulphide synthesis and bioactivity.

Cystathionine accumulated in several tissues of dams and fetuses by a single intraperitoneal administration of L-proparglyglycine to pregnant rats. Cystathionine in the liver of dams reached its maximal level at about 15 hrs after L-proparglyglycine injection (10 mg/300g), while that

Hydrogen sulphide (H2S), which is produced endogenously from L-cysteine in mammalian tissues, has been suggested to function as a neuromodulator in the brain. However, the role of H2S in microglial cells is unclear. In this study, the effect of exogenous
