l-lysine

L-Lysine (Aminutrin) is one of nine essential amino acids in humans required for growth and tissue repair, Lysine is supplied by many foods, especially red meats, fish, and dairy products. Lysine seems to be active against herpes simplex viruses and present in many forms of diet supplements. The mechanism underlying this effect is based on the viral need for amino acid arginine; lysine competes with arginine for absorption and entry into cells. Lysine inhibits HSV growth by knocking out arginine.

L-Lysine hydrochloride, an essential amino acid for humans, offers numerous benefits including the treatment of herpes, reduction of diabetes-related illnesses, enhanced calcium absorption, and improved gut health.

Nepsilon-Acetyl-L-lysine, a derivative of lysine, is a chemical compound characterized by the acetylation of the epsilon amino group of the lysine residue [Nepsilon-Ac-Lys].

Acetyl-L-lysine (Nα-Acetyl-L-lysine) is a N-acetylated amino acid. It is a normal constituent of human urine with concentrations in normal samples too small to allow its routine detection; however, it has been found at increased levels in the urine of a patient with aminoacylase I deficiency.

Fructosyl-lysine is the precursor to glucosepane. Fructosyl-lysine is a lysine–arginine protein cross-link that can be an indicator in diabetes detection. Fructosyl-lysine is an amadori glycation product from the reaction of glucose and lysine by the Maillard reaction.

DL-Lysine (Lysine) is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.

Lauroyl lysine (N6-Lauroyl-L-lysine) functions as skin and hair conditioning agents and as surfactants-cleansing agents in personal care products.

L-Aspartic acid (Aspatofort) is a non-essential amino acid in humans, L-Aspartic acid has an overall negative charge and plays an important role in the synthesis of other amino acids and in the citric acid and urea cycles. Asparagine, arginine, lysine, methionine, isoleucine, and some nucleotides are synthesized from aspartic acid. L-Aspartic acid also serves as a neurotransmitter.

L-Pipecolic acid (L-Homoproline) is a breakdown product of lysine, accumulates in body fluids of infants with generalized genetic peroxisomal disorders, such as Zellweger syndrome, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy.

(±)-Carnitine chloride (Monocamin) is a quaternary ammonium compound biosynthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine.

D-Lysine is the D-isomer of L-Lysine, prepared by chemical racemization and microbial asymmetric degradation of L-Lysine.D-Lysine reduces renal uptake of radiolabeled peptides and decreases nephrotoxicity.

L-hydroxylysine dihydrochloride , is formed by posttranslational hydroxylation of some lysine residues. It is an amino acid, is exclusive to collagen protein.

Epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)-lysine is an N(6)-acyl-L-lysine derivative that forms bonds between extracellular matrix (ECM) components with the assistance of the enzyme tissue transglutaminase (tTg). These bonds are implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases such as non-diabetic kidney disorders and glaucoma filtration.

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.

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

Meso-2,6-diaminopimelic acid is an essential precursor in the biosynthesis of the amino acid L-lysine and a critical component of peptidoglycan in the cell walls of various bacteria.
