L-phenylalanine-alpha,beta,beta,2,3,4,5

Description:

L-phenylalanine-alpha,beta,beta,2,3,4,5, also known by its CAS number 17942-32-4, is an amino acid derivative that features a phenyl group attached to the alpha carbon of the amino acid phenylalanine. This compound is characterized by its structure, which includes multiple functional groups that influence its reactivity and interactions. It is typically a white crystalline solid, soluble in water, and exhibits properties typical of amino acids, such as the ability to participate in peptide bond formation. L-phenylalanine is essential for protein synthesis and serves as a precursor for neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Its unique structure allows it to play a significant role in various biochemical pathways. Additionally, it may have applications in pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements, particularly in formulations aimed at enhancing mood or cognitive function. As with many amino acids, it is important to consider its role in metabolic processes and potential effects on health when used in dietary contexts.

Applications L-Phenyl-d5-alanine-2,3,3-d3 is an isotope labelled compound of L-Phenylalanine (P319415). L-Phenylalanine (Aspartame EP Impurity C) is an essential amino acid. L-Phenylalanine is biologically converted into L-tyrosine, another one of the DNA-encoded amino acids, which in turn is converted to L-DOPA and further converted into dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. L-Phenylalanine is produced for medical, feed, and nutritional applications such as in the preparation of Aspartame. Neuroprotective product.
