L-2-Aminoadipic acid

General description
L-2-Aminoadipic acid is the six-carbon homolog of glutamate and a metabolite of L-lysine.[1][2] Application
L-2-Aminoadipic acid may be used as an analytical standard in the following:
For the quantification of 2-aminoadipic acid in acid hydrolysates of processed skin samples using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS).[3] To investigate its effect on proteolysis and protein synthesis in C2C12 myotubes.[1]

It may be used as an internal standard for the determination of free amino acids and ammonium ion contents in Crocus sativus L. from different geographical origins using high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD).[4] Other Notes
