Function | Hydro-lyase catalyzing the first step of the transsulfuration pathway, where the hydroxyl group of L-serine is displaced by L- homocysteine in a beta-replacement reaction to form L-cystathionine, the precursor of L-cysteine. This catabolic route allows the elimination of L-methionine and the toxic metabolite L-homocysteine (PubMed:23981774, PubMed:20506325, PubMed:23974653). Also involved in the production of hydrogen sulfide, a gasotransmitter with signaling and cytoprotective effects on neurons (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus |
Tissue Location | In the adult strongly expressed in liver and pancreas, some expression in heart and brain, weak expression in lung and kidney. In the fetus, expressed in brain, liver and kidney |

Background
Strongly expressed in human liver and pancreas, with weaker expression in heart and brain, the cytoplasmic protein cystathionine b-synthase (CBS) operates in the first step of homocysteine transulfuration. CBS, which belongs to the cysteine synthase/cystathionine b-synthase family of proteins, catalyzes the formation of cystathionine from the thrombogenic amino acid homocysteine using pyridoxal phosphate cofactor. Allosteric activation by adenosyl-methionine regulates CBS activity. Deficiencies in CBS are associated with homocystinuria, a recessively inherited error in sulfur amino acid metabolism that affects many organs and tissues. Symptoms of homocytinuria include arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, dislocated optic lenses, mental retardation and skeletal abnormalities.
