Lysine makes up a significant portion of the PEVK region (∼15% of all amino acids) in three analyzed skeletal muscle types as well as in the left ventricle
| Species | Region | Tissue | Lysine count | AA total | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mouse | N2B element | LV | 54 | 883 | 6.12% |
| Human | N2B element | LV | 64 | 928 | 6.90% |
| Mouse | PEVK | LV | 112 | 723 | 15.49% |
| Mouse | PEVK | EDL | 299 | 1,914 | 15.62% |
| Mouse | PEVK | Soleus | 284 | 1,816 | 15.64% |
| Mouse | PEVK | Diaphragm | 269 | 1,898 | 14.17% |

Lysine counts and percentages in the N2B region are much lower at 6–7% (see supplemental text at the end of the PDF). LV, left ventricle.
