Nε, Nε, Nε-Trimethyllysine chloride - CAS 55528-53-5

Nε, Nε, Nε-Trimethyllysine chloride (Lys (Me) 3-OH Chloride) is a methylated derivative of lysine, found in histone proteins and serves as a coenzyme in fatty acid oxidation. It is a precursor for carnitine, generated by S-adenosyl-L-methionine on lysine residues. Upon proteolysis, it is converted to 3-hydroxy-6-N-trimethyllysine by mitochondrial 6-N-trimethyllysine dioxygenase, initiating carnitine biosynthesis.
