Metabolite Identification
Common NameAllysine
DescriptionAllysine, also known as 6-oxonorleucine or alpha-aasa, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). Allysine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Allysine exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Within humans, allysine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, allysine and L-glutamic acid can be biosynthesized from saccharopine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme Alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde synthase, mitochondrial. In addition, allysine can be converted into aminoadipic acid; which is catalyzed by the enzyme Alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde dehydrogenase. In humans, allysine is involved in lysine degradation. Allysine is a potentially toxic compound.

1. Carbonyl reductase [NADPH] 1
General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function:
NADPH-dependent reductase with broad substrate specificity. Catalyzes the reduction of a wide variety of carbonyl compounds including quinones, prostaglandins, menadione, plus various xenobiotics. Catalyzes the reduction of the antitumor anthracyclines doxorubicin and daunorubicin to the cardiotoxic compounds doxorubicinol and daunorubicinol. Can convert prostaglandin E2 to prostaglandin F2-alpha. Can bind glutathione, which explains its higher affinity for glutathione-conjugated substrates. Catalyzes the reduction of S-nitrosoglutathione.
