Description

General description

L-2-Aminoadipic acid is the six-carbon homolog of glutamate and a metabolite of L-lysine.

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).
• To investigate its effect on proteolysis and protein synthesis in C2C12 myotubes.

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).
