Cysteine desulfurase an enzyme that breakdowns cysteine into alanine. The cofactor of this process is P5P. I am not sure why, but L-cysteine supplement worsens many symptoms I have like body rashes, irritability, hair loss, and acne. I am searching for other downstream processes that would explain why I am sensitive to cysteine.
In the meantime, if you are sensitive to cysteine (which can be found out by experimental supplementation), please be cautious of taking B6 and P5P.

Another enzyme responsible for cysteine metabolism is molybdenum cofactor sulfurase, which results in similar conversion, from cysteine to alanine. P5P is also a cofactor for this process as well.
