L-Phenylalanine-15N

Description:
L-Phenylalanine-15N is a stable isotope-labeled form of the essential amino acid L-phenylalanine, which is crucial for protein synthesis and serves as a precursor for neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. The "15N" designation indicates that the nitrogen atom in the amino acid has been replaced with the nitrogen-15 isotope, which is heavier than the more common nitrogen-14. This isotopic labeling is often used in research and analytical applications, particularly in metabolic studies and tracer experiments, as it allows for the tracking of nitrogen incorporation into biological molecules. L-Phenylalanine itself is characterized by its aromatic side chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. It is typically found in proteins and is important for various physiological functions, including the synthesis of melanin and the regulation of mood. The CAS number 29700-34-3 uniquely identifies this specific isotopically labeled compound, facilitating its recognition in scientific literature and databases.
