L-Pipecolic acid is a non-standard amino acid widely found in various organisms. It is a key intermediate in lysine metabolism, particularly in mammals, and its metabolic pathway is closely linked to multiple physiological functions. L-Pipecolic acid plays a significant role in the nervous system, especially in neuron growth and function. Additionally, changes in L-pipecolic acid levels are associated with various metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Wilson's disease and pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy. Therefore, accurate analysis of L-pipecolic acid content and metabolism is essential for understanding its mechanisms in the body and its potential applications in disease diagnosis and research.
