L-Tyrosine
L-Tyrosine (L-p-Tyrosine) is the naturally occurring, levorotatory isomer of this aromatic amino acid, which is synthesized in vivo from L-phenylalanine. It serves as a crucial precursor in the biosynthesis of catecholamines, thyroid hormones, and melanin, making it valuable for neuroscience, endocrinology, and cell signaling research in both in vitro and in vivo models.
