Lysine (Lys)
Synonym
2,6-Diaminohexanoic acid, 2,6-Diammoniohexanoic acid
Units of measurement
µmol/L, mg/L, mg/dL, mg/100mL, mg%, µg/mL
Lysine has a net positive charge, which makes it one of the three basic (by charge) amino acids. Lysine plays a role in the production of antibodies and lowers triglyceride levels. Lysine is needed for proper growth and bone development in children and to maintain a proper nitrogen balance in adults. Lysine helps in the absorption and conservation of calcium and plays an important role in the formation of collagen, a component of cartilage and connective tissue.
Units description
Micromole per liter | µmol/L = mcmol/L = umol/L = µM/L = mcM/L = uM/L = micromol/L |
Milligram per liter | mg/L = millig/L = milligram/L = mg/liter |
Milligram per deciliter | mg/dL = millig/dL = milligram/dL |
Milligram per 100 milliliters | mg/100mL = millig/100mL = milligram/100mL |
Milligram percent | mg% = millig% = milligram% |
Microgram per milliliter | µg/mL = mcg/mL = ug/mL= microg/mL = microgram/mL |
