Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Alpha-ccetyllysine
DescriptionAcetyllysine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acyl-alpha amino acids. N-acyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. Acetyllysine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Acetyllysine exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans.
