:

Dimethyllysine

Description:
Dimethyllysine, with the CAS number 2259-86-1, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of two methyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom of the lysine side chain. This modification alters its properties compared to standard lysine, influencing its role in biological systems. Dimethyllysine is often involved in post-translational modifications, particularly in the context of protein methylation, which can affect protein function, stability, and interactions. It exists in various forms, including mono- and dimethylated variants, and is commonly found in histones, where it plays a crucial role in gene regulation and chromatin structure. The substance is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents. Its biological significance is underscored by its involvement in cellular processes, including signal transduction and gene expression. As a research chemical, dimethyllysine is utilized in studies related to epigenetics and protein chemistry, providing insights into the mechanisms of cellular regulation and the impact of methylation on protein function.
