L-Phenylalanine

Description:

L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and is a precursor for several important biomolecules, including neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. It is classified as a non-polar, aromatic amino acid due to its phenyl group, which contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics. L-Phenylalanine exists in two enantiomeric forms, with the L-form being biologically active and utilized by the body. It is typically found in high-protein foods such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, and certain plant sources like soybeans. In addition to its nutritional importance, L-Phenylalanine is also used in the production of aspartame, a low-calorie artificial sweetener. The substance is generally recognized as safe when consumed in appropriate amounts, but excessive intake can lead to health issues, particularly in individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU), a genetic disorder that impairs the metabolism of phenylalanine. Overall, L-Phenylalanine is vital for various physiological functions and is an important component of a balanced diet.

L-Phenylalanine

CAS: 63-91-2

L-phenylalanine is an amino acid that is naturally present in the human body. It is an essential amino acid, meaning it cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained through diet or supplementation. L-Phenylalanine has been shown to inhibit oxidative injury by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reducing lipid peroxidation. It also has a protective effect on the intestinal tract by increasing the activity of bowel enzymes and preventing intestinal ulcers. L-Phenylalanine is used in biochemical studies to measure the activities of various enzymes, such as chymotrypsin, aminopeptidase, and carboxypeptidase. L-Phenylalanine can be converted into dopamine and norepinephrine, which are neurotransmitters in the brain that are important for memory, learning, mood regulation, sleep cycles, and other brain functions. L-Phenylalanine toxicity can lead to liver failure
