Abstract
Enzymes catalysing the conversion of methionine to cysteine via the transulphuration pathway are found in liver and kidney of sheep (Radcliffe and Eggan, 1974), but their presence has not been established in the hair follicle. The aims of this study were (a) to establish the presence of transulphuration and (b) to determine quantitatively the conversion of methionine to cysteine in isolated secondary hair follicles of the Angora goat.
