CAS 27172-85-6: Phenylalanine, hydrochloride (1:1)

Description: Phenylalanine hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of the amino acid phenylalanine, which is an essential amino acid important for protein synthesis and the production of neurotransmitters. It is characterized by its white crystalline appearance and is soluble in water, making it suitable for various applications in biochemistry and nutrition. The chemical formula reflects the presence of both the phenylalanine molecule and hydrochloric acid, resulting in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio. Phenylalanine plays a crucial role in the synthesis of tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, which are vital for numerous physiological functions. This compound is often used as a dietary supplement and is also relevant in the food industry as a flavor enhancer. However, individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU), a genetic disorder, must avoid phenylalanine due to its potential toxicity. In laboratory settings, phenylalanine hydrochloride can be utilized in various biochemical assays and research involving protein structure and function.
