Description

4-Hydroxyphenylglycine, also known as L-tyrosine, is a naturally occurring amino acid found in proteins. It is an important precursor in the synthesis of various neurotransmitters, including dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, which play critical roles in mood regulation, attention, and stress response. Research on 4-hydroxyphenylglycine focuses on its potential therapeutic applications in treating conditions like Parkinson's disease, depression, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Its effects on the brain and its potential to enhance cognitive function are also areas of active investigation.'

GlycinegenusA non-essential amino acid. It is found primarily in gelatin and silk fibroin and used therapeutically as a nutrient. It is also a fast inhibitory neurotransmitter.[MeSH]FabaceaeThe large family of plants characterized by pods. Some are edible and some cause LATHYRISM or FAVISM and other forms of poisoning. Other species yield useful materials like gums from ACACIA and various LECTINS like PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS from PHASEOLUS. Many of them harbor NITROGEN FIXATION bacteria on their roots. Many but not all species of beans belong to this family.[MeSH]
