Description

L-Lysine is an amino acid that is necessary for the production of proteins. It plays a key role in the regulation of transcription and cellular metabolism. L-Lysine is synthesized from lysine, which is derived from ornithine and aspartate. L-Lysine can also be formed by methylation of lysine residues on histones, which leads to changes in gene expression. L-Lysine has been shown to inhibit cancer cells by inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells, preventing cellular transformation, and inhibiting viral replication. The inhibition of viral replication may be due to the ability of L-lysine to act as a competitive inhibitor against cyclic peptides, such as polyoma virus T antigen (PVT) or SV40 large T antigen (SV40 LT).
