L-Tyrosine

Product Description

L-Tyrosine (Code: 06316) is a high-purity, naturally occurring aromatic amino acid with the molecular formula C₉H₁₁NO₃. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is only slightly soluble in water. As a non-essential amino acid (conditionally essential under stress), L-Tyrosine plays a vital role in protein biosynthesis, neurotransmitter production, and enzyme regulation.

In laboratory and industrial applications, L-Tyrosine is widely used in biochemical research, cell culture media, pharmaceutical formulations, and nutritional supplements. It is a direct precursor to several important biomolecules, including dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and melanin.
