Trimethyllysine hydroxylase (TMLH) is a non-haem Fe(ii) and 2-oxoglutarate dependent oxygenase that catalyses the C-3 hydroxylation of an unactivated C-H bond in l-trimethyllysine in the first step of carnitine biosynthesis. The examination of trimethyllysine analogues as substrates for human TMLH reveals that the enzyme does hydroxylate substrates other than natural l-trimethyllysine.
三甲基赖氨酸羟化酶（TMLH）是一种非血红素铁（II）和2-氧代戊二酸依赖性加氧酶，在肉碱生物合成的第一步中催化L-三甲基赖氨酸中未活化的C-H键的C-3羟基化反应。对作为人TMLH底物的三甲基赖氨酸类似物的研究表明，该酶确实能使天然L-三甲基赖氨酸以外的底物发生羟基化反应。
