Cystinosis
A LYSOSOMAL STORAGE DISEASE CHARACTERIZED BY THE ABNORMAL ACCUMULATION OF CYSTINE IN THE LYSOSOMES. IT FOLLOWS AN AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE INHERITANCE PATTERN AND HAS MATERIAL BASIS IN MUTATIONS IN THE CTNS GENE, LOCATED ON CHROMOSOME 17.

Cystine
Cystine is the oxidized derivative of the amino acid cysteine and has the formula (SCH2CH(NH2)CO2H)2. It is a white solid that is poorly soluble in water. As a residue in proteins, cystine serves two functions: a site of redox reactions and a mechanical linkage that allows proteins to retain their three-dimensional structure.
