L-Tyrosine(CAT: R058894) is a non-essential amino acid crucial for protein synthesis and a precursor to key neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. It plays a vital role in brain function, stress response, and the production of thyroid hormones. Often used in neurological, psychiatric, and endocrine research, L-Tyrosine supports investigations into cognitive performance, mood regulation, and metabolic pathways. Its ability to influence catecholamine levels makes it valuable in studies of mental fatigue, attention, and neurodegenerative conditions.
