Application

Nα-Acetyl-L-lysine has been used as a substrate for lysyl oxidase for synthesis of authentic α-aminoadipic semialdehyde (AAS)-p-aminobenzoic acid (ABA). It may be used in the synthesis of amino acid adducts of 4,4′-Methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nα-Acetyl-L-lysine is a biologically available N-terminal capped form of the proteinogenic α amino acid L-lysine. Nα-Acetyl-L-lysine is a substrate used to study and characterize lysyl oxidase(s).
