Measurement of intracellular amino acids in cultured fibroblasts. 1982

A J Jonas, and S A Smith, and N Gochman, and J A Schneider

Tissue culture is a valuable tool for the study of cellular amino acid metabolism. However, accurate measurement of intracellular amino acids is difficult. Cells must be washed to remove the culture medium which is rich in amino acids, a procedure which may result in the loss of intracellular amino acids. Collection of the cells of washing and amino acid measurement is further complicated by the adherence of cultured fibroblasts to the culture vessel surface. An uncomplicated, reliable method for the determination of the amino acid content of cultured human diploid fibroblasts is described. The intracellular levels of several amino acids determined by this method are markedly higher than previously reported levels.

D003553 Cystine A covalently linked dimeric nonessential amino acid formed by the oxidation of CYSTEINE. Two molecules of cysteine are joined together by a disulfide bridge to form cystine. Copper Cystinate,L-Cystine,L Cystine
D003554 Cystinosis A metabolic disease characterized by the defective transport of CYSTINE across the lysosomal membrane due to mutation of a membrane protein cystinosin. This results in cystine accumulation and crystallization in the cells causing widespread tissue damage. In the KIDNEY, nephropathic cystinosis is a common cause of RENAL FANCONI SYNDROME.
