Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Acetyl-L-tyrosine
DescriptionN-Acetyl-L-tyrosine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tyrosine and derivatives. Tyrosine and derivatives are compounds containing tyrosine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of tyrosine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as preterm birth, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and colorectal cancer; N-acetyl-L-tyrosine has also been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including tyrosinemia I and aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine.
