Aminoethylcysteine ketimine is a sulfur-containing cyclic compound produced by the enzymatic alpha-deamination of the parent aminoethylcysteine that has been detected in bovine brain and cerebellum. Aminoethylcysteine ketimine is known to dimerize spontaneously and easily lose one carboxyl group. This decarboxylated compound, simply named the dimer, has been recently detected in normal human urine. In this article we provide evidence on the occurrence of the dimer in the bovine cerebellum.

D002531 Cerebellum The part of brain that lies behind the BRAIN STEM in the posterior base of skull (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR). It is also known as the "little brain" with convolutions similar to those of CEREBRAL CORTEX, inner white matter, and deep cerebellar nuclei. Its function is to coordinate voluntary movements, maintain balance, and learn motor skills. Cerebella,Corpus Cerebelli,Parencephalon,Cerebellums,Parencephalons
