Description

D,L-m-Tyrosine is an amino acid that can be synthesized from L-tyrosine and pyridoxal phosphate. It is a precursor of the neurotransmitter dopamine and thus has a role in the synthesis of catecholamines. Tyrosine is produced by hydroxylation of phenylalanine by phenolase. The enzyme dopamine β-hydroxylase converts tyrosine to dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) which then undergoes decarboxylation to form dopamine. Tyrosine also has an inhibitory effect on hemolysis, which may be due to its ability to reduce the production of protocatechuic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid as well as its antioxidant properties.
