Product Information

• Name: 3-Nitrotyramine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Nitrotyramine is a compound that has catabolic properties. It is the product of tyrosine, which is an amino acid found in most proteins. 3-Nitrotyramine has been shown to be metabolized by humans through the liver and kidneys. The metabolic pathway for this compound starts with the conversion of L-methionine into dl-methionine. This reaction generates a molecule called S-adenosyl methionine, or SAMe, which is involved in many biological processes such as neurotransmitter synthesis and gene expression regulation. 3-Nitrotyramine can also be converted into dopamine by way of the enzyme catecholamine methyltransferase. Dopamine has been shown to have a variety of effects on human physiology, including being involved in mood disorders and motor control. 3-Nitrotyramine can also be converted into gold nanoparticles by means of an acid analysis test.
