TL;DR: It is concluded that oral cysteamine, by depleting cells of cystine, helps maintain renal glomerular function, improves growth, and constitutes the current treatment of choice for nephropathic cystinosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
ATP-dependent lysosomal cystine efflux is defective in cystinosis.
TL;DR: Lysosomes containing large amounts of the amino acid, Cystine, were obtained from transformed, cultured, human lymphoblasts which had been exposed to cystine dimethyl ester and it was found that lysosomal cyStine efflux is dependent upon the functioning of a proton-pump ATPase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proton-translocating ATPase and lysosomal cystine transport.
TL;DR: A proton-translocating ATPase was identified in highly purified lysosomes from Epstein-Barr virus-transformed human lymphoblasts and was distinct from mitochondrial F1-ATPase in its responses to a variety of inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cystine accumulation and loss in normal, heterozygous, and cystinotic fibroblasts
TL;DR: Cystine loss could not be demonstrated from isolated, cystine-loaded lysosomes from any of the three cell types, in contrast to the findings in intact fibroblasts.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple, rapid assay for cysteamine and other thiols.

TL;DR: Cysteamine is under investigation as an aid in radiation therapy and as a treatment for the inherited disorder cystinosis and an assay is presented for its measurement in biological fluids.
