- CAS No.: 17105-15-6
- Formula:C11H21N3O5
- Molecular Weight:275.30
IUPAC Name: N6-((S)-4-amino-4-carboxybutanoyl)-L-lysine
InChIKey: JPKNLFVGUZRHOB-YUMQZZPRSA-N
SMILES: OC([C@@H](N)CCC(NCCCC[C@H](N)C(O)=O)=O)=O
Biological Activity: Epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)-lysine (H-Glu (H-Lys-OH)-OH) is an isodipeptide formed during the proteolytic degradation of proteins containing Nε-(γ-glutamyl)-lysine cross-links. Epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)-lysine serves as a substrate for γ-glutamylamine cyclotransferase, which specifically cleaves it. Epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)-lysine is applicable to studies related to transglutaminase-mediated protein cross-linking and turnover, γ-glutamylamine cyclotransferase activity, glaucoma, and tissue scar formation[1][2][3].
