Lysine (Lys/K)

“Lysine (Lys/K)”

Lysine (Lys)
In protein science, the proteinogenic amino acid, Lysine (Lys/K), is a classed as both a basic amino acid and a diamino amino acid, with the molecular formula (C₆H₁₄N₂O₂). Lysine's codons are AAA and AAG

Lysine in our Body
In our body, Lysine an essential Î±-amino acid is important for proper growth and plays a fundamental role in the production of carnitine, helps inhibit the growth of viruses, well known for its use in soothing the effects of herpes, may and improve endurance to stress and battle fatigue.
Examples of some lysine compounds include the:

Hydroxylysine
Lysinoalanine
polylysine

“Mitochondrial Function & Lysine”

Lysine & Mitochondrial Function
In our body's cells, the modulation of Mitochondria structure and function via lysine acetylation involves proteins residing in the nucleus (mitochondrial regulatory proteins), cytoplasm (chaperones) and within mitochondria themselves.

Lysine-Residue Acetylation
Lysine-residue acetylation is a reversible post-translational modification (PTM) orchestrated by a diverse family of structurally unrelated enzymes collectively known as acetyltransferases.

“Lysine Deficiencies”

Lysine Deficiency
In our body, the nutritional dis-order, Lysine Deficiency is a nutritional deficiency dis-order involving the essential Î±-amino acid lysine.

“Lysine, Anxiety & Diarrhea”

In our body, L-Lysine is involved with both intestinal pathologie … … …

“Lysine Nutrition”
In our diet, Lysine is unique among indispensable amino acids in that it can be conserved and can be fed 12 hours out of phase (delayed supplement) with the other dietary amino acids needed.

Lysine alpha-ketoglutarate reductase
Im our body's cells, the Lysine enzyme as lysine alpha-ketoglutarate reductase (LKR), is found only in the mitochondrial matrix

_[79954]

“Allysine”
In protein science, Allysine, with the molecular formula (C₆H₁₁NO₃), is a derivative of Lysine.
In our body, Allysine is produced by the actions of the enzyme lysyl oxidase in the extracellular matrix and is essential in the crosslink formation that stabilizes collagen and elastin.

_[77440]

“Lysine in our Body”
In our body, the amino acid Lysine is important for vegetarians. Lysine aids in the absorption of calcium, and deficiencies could lead to calcium excretion (kidney stones) and possible dwarfism. Lysine strengthens the thymus gland and immune system. Lysine is important in collagen formation in tissue, necessary for neutralizing viruses and repairing damage to the Lens of the Eye (Eye Lens).
