Metabolite Identification
Common NameN2-Methyl-L-lysine
DescriptionN2-Methyl-L-lysine, also known as N(a)-methyl-L-lysine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. Lysine methylation displays the highest degree of complexity among known covalent histone modifications, with each site of methylation regulating the association of different effector molecules. The versatility of lysine methylation marks is perhaps best exemplified by modifications implicated in transcriptional regulation as well as being required for double-strand break repair in several organisms. Identification of the numerous biological functions encoded by histone lysine methylation is a major area of research interest. (PMID: 32119527 )
