Description

N-epsilon-acetyl-L-lysine is a diagnostic agent that is used to identify cancer cells. This compound is synthesized by the enzyme polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and is a fluorescent probe that selectively binds to lysine residues in proteins of the cell membrane, including glycoproteins and proteoglycans. The presence of this compound can be detected using spectroscopy. It has been shown that higher levels of N-epsilon-acetyl-L-lysine in urine are associated with an increased body mass index and fatty acid content.
