Cysteine can be degraded through oxidative reactions that generate taurine or sulfate in a 2:1 ratio. In addition, cysteine is used in the synthesis of proteins and glutathione, a powerful antioxidant. Taurine is the most abundant amino acid in animal tissues and used in the synthesis of bile salts, and it potentially acts as an antioxidant, membrane stabilizer and neurotransmitter.
