==Properties and nutritional aspects== ==Formation and reactions==
===Structure===
The disulfide link is readily reduced to give the corresponding thiol cysteine. This reaction is typically effected with thiols such as ] or ].
Cystine is the ] derived from the amino acid ]. The conversion can be viewed as an oxidation:
:(SCH<sub>2</sub>CH(NH<sub>2</sub>)CO<sub>2</sub>H)<sub>2</sub> + 2 ] → 2 HSCH<sub>2</sub>CH(NH<sub>2</sub>)CO<sub>2</sub>H + RSSR
:{{chem2|2 HO2CCH(NH2)CH2SH + 0.5 O2 -> (HO2CCH(NH2)CH2S)2 + H2O}}
For this reason, the nutritional benefits and sources of cystine are identical to those for the more-common cysteine. Disulfide bonds cleave more rapidly at higher temperatures.<ref>{{cite journal
Cystine contains a ], two amine groups, and two carboxylic acid groups. As for other amino acids, the amine and carboxylic acid groups exist in rapid equilibrium with the ammonium-carboxylate ]. The great majority of the literature concerns the ''l,l-''cystine, derived from ''l''-cysteine. Other isomers include ''d,d''-cystine and the ] d,l-cystine, neither of which is biologically significant.

The history of cystine and ] is complicated by the dimer-monomer relationship of the two.<ref name=":0" /> The cysteine monomer was proposed as the actual unit by Embden in 1901.

The sulfur within the structure of cysteine and cystine has been subject of historical interest.<ref name=":0" /> In 1902, Osborne partially succeeded in analysing cystine content via lead compounds. An improved colorimetric method was developed in 1922 by Folin and Looney. An iodometric analysis method was developed by Okuda in 1925.

===Redox===
It is formed from the oxidation of two cysteine molecules, which results in the formation of a ]. In cell biology, cystine residues (found in proteins) only exist in non-reductive (oxidative) organelles, such as the secretory pathway (], ], ]s, and vesicles) and extracellular spaces (e.g., ]). Under reductive conditions (in the cytoplasm, nucleus, etc.) cysteine is predominant. The disulfide link is readily reduced to give the corresponding ] ]. Typical thiols for this reaction are ] and ]:
:(SCH<sub>2</sub>CH(NH<sub>2</sub>)CO<sub>2</sub>H)<sub>2</sub> + 2 RSH → 2 HSCH<sub>2</sub>CH(NH<sub>2</sub>)CO<sub>2</sub>H + RSSR
Because of the facility of the thiol-disulfide exchange, the nutritional benefits and sources of cystine are identical to those for the more-common ]. Disulfide bonds cleave more rapidly at higher temperatures.<ref>{{cite journal

===Cystine-based disorders===
]
The presence of cystine in urine is often indicative of amino acid reabsorption defects. ] has been reported to occur in dogs.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Gahl|first1=William A.|last2=Thoene|first2=Jess G.|last3=Schneider|first3=Jerry A.|title=Cystinosis|journal=New England Journal of Medicine|volume=347|issue=2|year=2002|pages=111–121|doi=10.1056/NEJMra020552|pmid= 12110740}}</ref>

==Biological transport==
Cystine serves as a substrate for the ]. This transport system, which is highly specific for cystine and glutamate, increases the concentration of cystine inside the cell. In this system, the anionic form of cystine is transported in exchange for glutamate. Cystine is quickly reduced to cysteine.{{citation needed|date=October 2013}} Cysteine prodrugs, e.g. ], induce release of glutamate into the extracellular space.

==Nutritional supplements==
{{missing information|date=November 2022|reason='''hair growth supplements'''}}
Cysteine supplements are sometimes marketed as anti-aging products with claims of improved skin elasticity.{{Citation needed|date=May 2020}} Cysteine is more easily absorbed by the body than cystine, so most supplements contain cysteine rather than cystine. N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) is better absorbed than other cysteine or cystine supplements.
