Product Information

• Name: 4-tert-Butyl-L-phenylalanine
• Synonyms: L-Phe(4-tBu)-OHp-tert-Butyl-L-phenylalanine(S)-2-Amino-3-(4-tert-butyl-phenyl)propionic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-tert-Butyl-L-phenylalanine is a synthetically created antigen with the ability to interact with red blood cells. It has been shown to be a potent probe for the detection of P. falciparum, and can be used as an affinity reagent for the isolation and identification of mutations in the c-terminal region of this protein. 4-tert-Butyl-L-phenylalanine also interacts with P. falciparum apical membrane proteins, which are specific to this type of parasite. This interaction may play a role in its invasion into red blood cells, which is what causes malaria infection.
