Description Lysine is an amino acid that is a necessary dietary component and is used in dietary supplements. Lysine is a substrate for the synthesis of carnitine, an important intermediary in the metabolism of fats and fatty acids. In this process, the lysine is converted to acetyl-CoA and then to acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Esters of lysine are used in the pharmaceutical industry as a buffering agent, a neutralizing agent, and a coating agent. Lysine salts are used as a food additive for seasoning.
