L-LYSINE, CELL CULTURE TESTED, 25 G.
L-Lysine is ketogenic, essential α-amino acid coded by codons AAA and AAG. It is chemically basic in nature. Its in vivo matabolism leads to generation of Acetoacetyl CoA via transamination of α-ketoglutaric acid, however it does not participate directly in production of glucose. Animal cells cannot synthesize lysine whereas plant and bacteria synthesize lysine from aspartic acid.
