Description

General description

L-Lysine is an essential amino acid, not generated by the body, instead must be supplemented through food.[1]

Application

L-Lysine monohydrochloride has been used:

• to study its effect on mRNA decay and destruction using mammalian cells[2]
• to determine its effec on aTC1-6 cell proliferation[3]
• to study the dynamics of the phosphoproteome upon amino acid supplement removal in the growth medium[4]

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.[1] L-Lysine is believed to prevent osteoporosis of bones, which is a characteristic of vascular calcification.[5] Glutaric aciduria type I and pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy occurs due to lack of L-lysine catabolic pathway.[6] Hydroxylysine is a component of collagen[1]
