General description

L-Lysine is an essential amino acid, not generated by the body, instead must be supplemented through food.

Application

L-Lysine monohydrochloride has been used:
  • to study its effect on mRNA decay and destruction using mammalian cells
  • to determine its effec on aTC1-6 cell proliferation
  • to study the dynamics of the phosphoproteome upon amino acid supplement removal in the growth medium

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Lysine is associated with a number of biochemical reactions such as acetylation, O-linked glycosylation, ubiquitination and protein methylation. Lysine participates in the regulation of NO (nitric oxide) synthesis. It possesses antiviral activity, therefore it is used in the treatment of Herpes simplex. L-Lysine is believed to prevent osteoporosis of bones, which is a characteristic of vascular calcification. Glutaric aciduria type I and pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy occurs due to lack of L-lysine catabolic pathway. Hydroxylysine is a component of collagen
