LYSINE
(ESSENTIAL AMINO ACID)
Ensures adequate calcium absorption and maintains a proper nitrogen
balance in adults; helps form collagen (which makes up cartilage and
connective tissue); aids in the production of antibodies which have the
ability to fight cold sores and herpes outbreaks; lowers high serum
triglyceride levels.
This amino acid is an essential amino acid, which means that humans
cannot synthesize it. Its codons are AAA and AAG. Lysine is a base, as are
arginine and histidine. The ε-amino group often participates in hydrogen
bonding and as a general base in catalysis. Common posttranslational
modifications include methylation of the ε-amino group, giving methyl-,
dimethyl-, and trimethyllysine. The latter occurs in calmodulin. Other
posttranslational modifications include acetylation. Collagen contains
hydroxylysine which is derived from lysine by lysyl hydroxylase. O-
Glycosylation of lysine residues in the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi
apparatus is used to mark certain proteins for secretion from the cell.
