Description

DL-2-Aminoadipic acid is a metabolite of the amino acid lysine, which is found in many protein-containing foods. It is also synthesized from glutamate, which is an excitatory neurotransmitter and a major regulator of neuronal function. This compound has been shown to have potential as a biomarker for metabolic disorders. DL-2-Aminoadipic acid has been shown to bind to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in the bacterial cell wall and disrupt its formation, leading to the inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis. DL-2-Aminoadipic acid may also be involved in regulating gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter that inhibits the release of excitatory neurotransmitters. DL-2-Aminoadipic acid has also been shown to inhibit HIV infection by binding to lysine residues on the virus envelope protein gp120.
