Polylysine is a synthetic polymer that is used to promote pluripotency in cells. It has been shown to be effective when combined with l-lysine, which promotes cell transformation and cellular physiology. It has also been shown to inhibit the synthesis of ubiquitin ligases, which are enzymes involved in the degradation of proteins. | [Uses]
Polylysine can also be used as a chemical probe for cancer tissues due to its ability to bind to lysine residues on proteins, which are not present on normal tissue or healthy cells. | [Definition]
ChEBI: L-lysine is an L-alpha-amino acid; the L-isomer of lysine. It has a role as a micronutrient, a nutraceutical, an anticonvulsant, an Escherichia coli metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, a plant metabolite, a human metabolite, an algal metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is an aspartate family amino acid, a proteinogenic amino acid, a lysine and a L-alpha-amino acid. It is a conjugate base of a L-lysinium(1+). It is a conjugate acid of a L-lysinate. It is an enantiomer of a D-lysine. It is a tautomer of a L-lysine zwitterion. | [Production Methods]
E-Polylysine is manufactured using an aerobic fermentation process using the non-toxic microorganism Streptomyces albulus. Raw materials and processing aids entering in the production of Epsilon-polylysine are all food-grade quality. |
