General description
Alliin is the precursor of allicin.
Constituent of garlic (Allium sativum)
Application
(±)-L-Alliin has been used in nutrient broth No. 2 (NB2) for determining the concentrations of garlic-derived products active against Clostridium jejuni.
Biochem/physiol Actions
L-Alliin (S-Allyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide) is an amino acid derived from L-cysteine. S-Allyl-L-cysteine Sulfoxide (ACSO) is an anti-atherosclerotic compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.
S-Allyl-L-cysteine ((±)-L-Alliin) (SAC) may be used to study its potential as an anti-Alzheimer′s factor. SAC has been shown to increase cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation by increasing 5-HT(1A) and provide antioxidative benefit to neurons and synapses.
Sulfur-containing amino acid that is converted to allicin by alliinase. Allicin is cytotoxic to several mammalian cancer cell lines and can protect against tumor formation induced by various exogenous chemical carcinogens.

Allicin (thio-2-propene-1-sulfinic acid S-allyl ester) is the main biologically active component of garlic clove extracts. Its biological activity was attributed to either antioxidant activity or thiol disulfide exchange. Antioxidant properties of both allicin and its precursor, alliin (+S-allyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide), were

Kinetochores generate a signal that inhibits anaphase progression until every kinetochore makes proper attachments to spindle microtubules. This spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) increases the fidelity of chromosome segregation. We will review the molecular mechanisms by which kinetochores generate the SAC

Alliinase (alliin lyase EC 4.4.1.4), a PLP-dependent alpha, beta-eliminating lyase, constitutes one of the major protein components of garlic (Alliium sativum L.) bulbs. The enzyme is a homodimeric glycoprotein and catalyzes the conversion of a specific non-protein sulfur-containing amino acid
