Product Information
Name:H-Ala-D-Phe-OH
Brand:Biosynth
Description:L-phenylalanine is an essential amino acid found in proteins that is the precursor for the neurotransmitter dopamine. The synthesis of L-phenylalanine from its precursor L-tyrosine is catalyzed by phenylalanine hydroxylase. Phenylalanine can also be synthesized from aspartic acid, but this reaction is not as efficient. L-phenylalanine can be efficiently transferred into the cytosol and converted to L-tyrosine, which has been shown to have a high specificity for dopaminergic neurons in rat brain tissue. The uptake of L-phenylalanine into cells through a process called active transport relies on the interaction between protonated L-phenylalanine or other positively charged molecules and chloride ions, which are found in cell membranes. This mechanism allows for efficient uptake of L-phenylalanine by cells without the need for energy expenditure.
