homocysteine An amino acid formed as an intermediate in the metabolism of
methionine, and in the formation of
cysteine from methionine; it is demethylated methionine. Does not occur in foods to any significant extent, and is not generally considered to be of nutritional importance. High blood concentrations of homocysteine (occurring as a result of poor
folic acid,
vitamin B6, and B
12 status) have been implicated in the development of
atherosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke.
