Chemical Information
FooDB NameL-Lysine
DescriptionL-Lysine, also known as (S)-lysine or L-lysin, 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. L-Lysine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). L-Lysine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. L-Lysine is an odorless tasting compound. L-Lysine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as beluga whales, milk (cow), and caseins and in a lower concentration in avocado, sapodilla, and gadus (common cod). L-Lysine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as gins, half-highbush blueberries, lards, ohelo berries, and ucuhuba. This could make L-lysine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. L-Lysine is a potentially toxic compound. L-Lysine, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as pyruvate carboxylase deficiency, frontotemporal dementia, alzheimer's disease, and supragingival calculus; L-lysine has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder carbamoyl phosphate synthetase deficiency.
