SMILES: C[N+](C)(C)[C@@H](CC1=CN=C(N1)S(=O)C[C@@H](C(=O)O)NC(=O)CC[C@@H](C(=O)O)N)C(=O)[O-]
Description: The molecule is a non-proteinogenic dipeptide formed from L-gamma-glutamic acid and hercynyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide residues. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of ergothioneine, a compound found in certain fungi and mycobacteria. It has a role as a fungal metabolite. It is an ammonium betaine, a dipeptide and a sulfoxide. It derives from a L-cysteine and a L-histidine. It is a conjugate acid of a N(alpha)-(L-gamma-glutamyl)-hercynyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide(1-).
