Description

N2-(1-Oxobutyl)-L-Lysine is a chemically modified derivative of the essential amino acid L-Lysine, characterized by the introduction of a butyryl group. This modification is critical for advanced biochemical research and the development of novel compounds, particularly in the study of protein modifications and metabolic pathways. It serves as a valuable intermediate and reference standard for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science sectors.

Application

• Biochemical Research Intermediate: Used as a key building block in the synthesis of more complex peptides and modified amino acids for research purposes.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for method development and quality control in pharmaceutical and academic laboratories.
• Metabolic Pathway Studies: Employed in research to investigate lysine metabolism and the biological effects of specific amino acid modifications.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Acts as a potential precursor or intermediate in the development of new therapeutic agents and diagnostic tools.
• Proteomics & Biomarker Research: Utilized in studies focusing on post-translational modifications of proteins and the discovery of novel biomarkers.

Quality Control

Our N2-(1-Oxobutyl)-L-Lysine is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability, purity, and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
