Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Hydroxy-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine
Description3-Hydroxy-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. 3-Hydroxy-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). 3-Hydroxy-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 3-Hydroxy-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 3-Hydroxy-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine and succinic acid can be biosynthesized from N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine and oxoglutaric acid through its interaction with the enzyme trimethyllysine dioxygenase, mitochondrial. In addition, 3-Hydroxy-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine can be converted into glycine and 4-trimethylammoniobutanal; which is mediated by the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase, cytosolic. In cattle, 3-hydroxy-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine is involved in the metabolic pathway called carnitine synthesis pathway.
