N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine (Cat No.: R020343) is a derivative of the amino acid L-tyrosine, where the amino group is acetylated to enhance stability and reduce reactivity. It retains the phenolic hydroxyl group on the aromatic ring, which contributes to its role in biochemical pathways and antioxidant activity. N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine is often used in nutritional supplements to support cognitive function, neurotransmitter synthesis, and stress response. It is also utilized in pharmaceutical research and peptide synthesis due to its improved solubility and reduced susceptibility to enzymatic degradation.
