| Application: | Cysteamine hydrochloride has been used in the in-situ generation of chiral cysteamine-capped cadmium sulfide quantum dots (CA-CdS QDs) for the sensing of Cd2+ and S2-. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Cysteamine hydrochloride is derived from the degradation of coenzyme A endogenously. Its concentration in plasma is low. It is commonly used as a drug for the orphan disease cystinosis, a lysosomal storage disorder, in which cysteamine decreases intralysosomal cystine accumulation. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Cysteamine is an aminothiol that can reduce important oxidized disulfide molecules such as cystine to yield cysteine. Cysteamine is used in a wide range of applications from regulation of gene expression, to depletion of somatostatin, to coating of nanoparticles. |
