Bioactivity | Nε-(Carboxymethyl)-L-lysine (CML) is a unique post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins that is generated by the non-enzymatic glycation of lysine residues. Nε-(Carboxymethyl)-L-lysine is a relatively recently discovered modification, and has been found to be a major component of the advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) found in multiple human diseases, such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer[1]. |
