5-aminovaleric acid

5-aminovalerate (or 5-aminopentanoic acid) is a lysine degradation product. It can be produced both endogenously or through bacterial catabolism of lysine. 5-aminovalerate is formed via the following multi-step reaction: L-lysine leads to cadverine leads

2-Oxo-(4R)-hydroxy-5-aminovaleric acid is a nucleoside metabolite.

Nε,Nε,Nε-Trimethyllysine chloride (Lys(Me)3-OH Chloride) is a methylated derivative of lysine, found in histone proteins and serves as a coenzyme in fatty acid oxidation. It is a precursor for carnitine, generated by S-adenosyl-L-methionine on lysine residues. Upon proteolysis, it is converted to 3-hydroxy-6-N-trimethyllysine by mitochondrial 6-N-trimethyllysine dioxygenase, initiating carnitine biosynthesis.

Nε,Nε,Nε-Trimethyllysine-13C3chloride is the 13C-labeled version of Nε,Nε,Nε-Trimethyllysine chloride. Nε,Nε,Nε-Trimethyllysine chloride serves as a precursor for the gut microbiota-dependent formation of N,N,N-trimethyl-5-aminovaleric acid (TMAVA).
