CAS 35987-78-1: 2-Amino-L-phenylalanine

Description:2-Amino-L-phenylalanine, also known as L-phenylalanine-2-amino, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2) and a phenyl side chain attached to the alpha carbon. It is a non-essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and is a precursor for neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. This compound is typically found in a crystalline form and is soluble in water, making it suitable for various biochemical applications. Its molecular structure includes a carboxyl group (-COOH), an amino group, and a phenyl group, contributing to its unique properties. The presence of the phenyl group imparts hydrophobic characteristics, influencing its interactions in biological systems. 2-Amino-L-phenylalanine is also studied for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in the context of metabolic disorders and neurological conditions. As with many amino acids, it is important to handle this substance with care in laboratory settings, adhering to safety protocols to avoid any adverse reactions.
