Metabolite Identification
Common NameN6,N6,N6-Trimethyl-L-lysine
DescriptionN6,N6,N6-Trimethyl-L-lysine, also known as epsilon-N-trimethyl-L-lysine or n6,n6,n6-trimethyl-l-lysine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. N6,N6,N6-Trimethyl-L-lysine is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). N6,N6,N6-Trimethyl-L-lysine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. N6,N6,N6-Trimethyl-L-lysine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, N6,N6,N6-Trimethyl-L-lysine and S-adenosylhomocysteine can be biosynthesized from L-lysine and S-adenosylmethionine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SETD7. In addition, N6,N6,N6-Trimethyl-L-lysine and oxoglutaric acid can be converted into 3-hydroxy-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine and succinic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme n6,n6,n6-trimethyl-l-lysine dioxygenase, mitochondrial. In cattle, N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine is involved in the metabolic pathway called carnitine synthesis pathway.
