Term Name: ergothioneine biosynthesis from histidine via hercynylcysteine sulfoxide synthase
Synonyms:
Definition: A biosynthetic process that results in the formation of ergothioneine from histidine via a set of steps including the hercynylcysteine sulfoxide synthase reaction, which converts N-alpha,N-alpha,N-alpha-trimethyl-L-histidine directly to hercynylcysteine sulfoxide.
