Lysine Analysis Service

Lysine is an essential amino acid crucial for protein synthesis, calcium absorption, collagen formation, and the production of hormones and antibodies. It is especially important for growth and immune function. As the human body cannot synthesize lysine, it must be obtained through diet. Lysine metabolism includes catabolism and α-amino transfer, generating important metabolites such as acetyl-CoA and aminobutyric acid, which support energy production and metabolic balance. Therefore, precise analysis of lysine and its metabolites helps understand its physiological functions and provides a scientific basis for clinical research, nutritional assessment, and disease diagnosis, promoting health and nutritional strategies optimization.
