Product Information

• Name: N-Acetyltyramine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N-Acetyltyramine is an amine that belongs to the group of monoamines. It is a substrate for the enzyme tyrosinase, which catalyses the conversion of dopa to DOPA. In analytical chemistry, N-Acetyltyramine is used as a model system to study reactions involving amines and acid formation. N-Acetyltyramine has also been shown to increase locomotor activity in mice. The biological properties of N-Acetyltyramine are determined by its ability to act as an intermediate in enzymatic reactions. This product has a pH optimum between 6 and 7, which is useful for determining the pH of biological samples using electrochemical detection methods.
