l-lysine l-glutamate

L-Lysine L-glutamate is a bioactive chemical.

Saccharopine hydrochloride (L-Saccharopine hydrochloride), an intermediate in lysine degradation and a mitochondrial toxin, is produced through the conversion of lysine and α-ketoglutarate by lysine-ketoglutarate reductase. This compound is subsequently oxidized to α-aminoapidate semialdehyde and glutamate by saccharopine dehydrogenase, impairing development by disrupting mitochondrial homeostasis [1] [2] [3].

Nε-(1-Carboxyethyl)-L-lysine (CEL) is an advanced glycation end-product (AGE), resulting from the chemical modification of proteins by methylglyoxal. Exposure to CEL reduces glutamate uptake and S100B secretion in the hippocampus, making it useful for studying ageing, metabolism, and diabetes.
