“These results suggest that thimerosal interacts with the cysteine residue C214 in the S3 segment of KCNQ1, leading to a change of its gating properties.”

“ Thimerosal reacted rapidly with cysteine , GSH, human serum albumin, and single-stranded DNA to form ethylmercury adducts that were detectable by mass spectrometry.”
“ L-Cysteine significantly attenuated the actions of thimerosal to reduce the glutathione content and to increase the intracellular Ca2+ concentration.”

“Moreover, the inhibitory effect of thimerosal on the nitrergic, ACh- or GTN-induced relaxations were partly reversed by sulfhydryl-containing compounds, L-cysteine (10(-3) M), dithiothreitol (10(-3) M), or glutathione (10(-3) M).”
