L-lysine

Product name : L-lysine

CAS : 56-87-1

Molecular Formula : C₆H₁₄N₂O₂

Molecular Weight : 146.19

Product Description :
Lysine is metabolised in mammals to give acetyl-CoA, via an initial transamination with α-ketoglutarate. The bacterial degradation of lysine yields cadaverine by decarboxylation. Allysine is a derivative of lysine, used in the production of elastin and collagen. It is produced by the actions of the enzyme lysyl oxidase on lysine in the extracellular matrix and is essential in the crosslink formation that stabilizes collagen and elastin
