L-tyrosine-15N

Description:

L-tyrosine-15N is a stable isotope-labeled form of the amino acid L-tyrosine, which is an important building block of proteins and a precursor for several neurotransmitters, including dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. The "15N" designation indicates that one of the nitrogen atoms in the molecule is 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-tyrosine itself is a non-essential amino acid, meaning that it can be synthesized by the body from phenylalanine. It plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including the synthesis of melanin and the regulation of mood. The CAS number 35424-81-8 uniquely identifies this specific compound, facilitating its recognition in scientific literature and databases. Overall, L-tyrosine-15N serves as a valuable tool in biochemical research and metabolic studies.

L-Tyrosine-15N

Controlled Product

CAS: 35424-81-8

Applications L-Tyrosine-15N is labelled analogue of L-Tyrosine (T899975), one of the 22 proteinogenic amino acids that are used by cells to synthesize proteins. L-Tyrosine is biologically converted from L-phenylalanine and is in turn is converted to L-DOPA and further converted into the neurotransmitters: dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.

H-[15N]Tyr-OH

CAS: 35424-81-8

H-[15N]Tyr-OH is a metabolite of tyrosine. It is the conjugate acid of propionic acid, and the conjugate base of 4-hydroxybenzyl. H-[15N]Tyr-OH is a phenylalanine and aromatic amino acid that has an aromatic ring with a phenyl substituent. This metabolite is hydroxy, which means it has one hydroxyl group on the phenyl ring. H-[15N]Tyr-OH binds to daphnia in vivo, causing death. The cause for this may be due to its ability to react with oxygen, forming reactive oxygen species (ROS).
