Product Information

• Name: 4-Carboxy-L-phenylalanine
• Synonyms: L-Phe(4-COOH)-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Carboxy-L-phenylalanine is a synthetic amino acid that has been shown to inhibit tyrosine kinase activity. It can also be used as a chromogenic substrate for tyrosine kinases, which are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of phosphate groups from ATP to tyrosine residues in proteins. 4-Carboxy-L-phenylalanine has potent inhibitory effects on ligand binding and cell proliferation by blocking the phosphotyrosine signal transduction pathway. 4-Carboxy-L-phenylalanine is an analog of L-phenylalanine, which is an essential amino acid found in many proteins and enzymes.
