N6-Butyryl-L-lysine（Cat No.:I043012）is a modified derivative of the amino acid L-lysine, where a butyryl group is attached to the amino group at the N6 position. This compound is used in biochemical studies to explore protein post-translational modifications, particularly lysine acylation. The butyryl group can mimic acetylation or alter the interaction and function of proteins, including histones. N6-Butyryl-L-lysine is important in investigating enzymes like histone acetyltransferases and deacetylases. It plays a role in cellular processes such as gene expression regulation, metabolism, and the modification of proteins involved in cellular signaling and homeostasis.
