Tyrosine (Tyr or Y), or 4-hydroxyphenylalanine, is one of the 22 amino acids that cells use to synthesize proteins, its codons are UAC and UAU, which are non-essential amino acids containing polar side groups that can be synthesized by the human body. The word "tyrosine" is derived from the Greek tyros, meaning cheese. At the beginning of the 19th century, it was first discovered in the presence of casein in the presence of Es by the German chemist Ustus von lebich, and when used as a functional or side group, it was called tyrosyl.
In addition to being a protein amino acid, in the process of signal transmission in proteins, tyrosine has a special role by virtue of its phenolic functional group, which functions as a protein kinase (the so-called tyrosine kinase receptor) the signal transfers to the receptor of the phosphate group, while the phosphorylation of the hydroxyl group changes the activity of the target protein.
tyrosine also plays an important role in photosynthesis, in the chloroplast (photosystem II), in the reduction reaction of oxidized chlorophyll as an electron provider, this was subjected to deprotonation of the phenolic OH-groups and finally reduced by the four core manganese clusters in photosystem II.
In microorganisms or plants, tyrosine is produced through prephenic acid, an intermediate product of the shikimic acid reaction pathway, the oxidative decarboxylation of prebenzoic acid with the retained hydroxyl groups gives p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, and tyrosine and α-ketoglutarate are transaminated using glutamic acid as a nitrogen source to produce P-hydroxyphenylpyruvate.
mammals use the essential amino acid phenylalanine (PHE) from food to synthesize tyrosine. The conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine is catalyzed by alanine hydroxylase, a monooxidase, this enzyme-catalyzed reaction causes an addition reaction of the hydroxyl group and the aromatic ring end of the 6-carbocyclic ring of phenylalanine, making it tyrosine.
some tyrosine can be labeled with the phosphate group of protein kinase, tyrosine in phosphorylated form is called phosphotyrosine, tyrosine phosphorylation is considered to be one of the key steps in signal transduction and regulation of enzyme activity, phosphotyrosine can be detected by specific antibodies, and tyrosine can also be modified by added sulfate groups. This reaction process is called tyrosine sulfation. Tyrosine sulfation is catalyzed by the sulfotransferase (TPST) enzyme in the tyrosyl protein, which, like the phosphotyrosine antibody mentioned above, has the specificity to detect sulfotyrosine.
In dopamine cells in the brain, tyrosine is converted to L-dopamine by the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), a rate-limiting enzyme, it is used in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is converted into the catecholamines norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline).
The thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) in the thyroid colloid are also derived from tyrosine.
Chemically, epinephrine is one of a group of monoamines called catecholamines. It is produced from the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine in some neurons of the central nervous system, and in the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla.
latex in the hypnotic substance of Papaveraceae, also known as Papaver, has been shown to convert tyrosine into the alkaloid morphine, in its biosynthetic reaction pathway, tyrosine traces the in vivo synthesis pathway using carbon -14 radiolabeled tyrosine.
tyrosine biosynthesis in cactus produced by trimethoxyphenethylamine.
Tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL) is an enzyme in the natural phenol biosynthesis reaction pathway that converts L-tyrosine to coumaric acid.
tyrosine is also a precursor of melanin in the pigment.
tyrosine is broken down into acetoacetic acid and fumaric acid. Two dioxygenases are necessary in the decomposition process, and the final product will enter the citric acid cycle.
The decomposition of L-tyrosine (p-hydroxyphenylalanine) is a dependent transfer reaction of tyrosine transaminase into α-ketoglutarate of p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, the binding position of which is Para, abbreviated as p, it indicates that the hydroxyl group and the side chain on the benzene ring are in opposite orientation (see figure below).
The next oxidation step is catalyzed by the cleavage of p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate-dioxygenase and carbon dioxide urinary black acid (2, 5-dihydroxyphenyl-1-ethyl acetate), in order to unravel the aromatic ring of urinary black acid, further binding by oxygen molecules to obtain urinary black acid oxygenase is necessary.
The rotation of the carboxyl groups caused by the oxidized hydroxyl groups by fumaryl acetic acid produces the maleylacetoacetate-cis-trans isomerase. The glutathione-containing cis-trans isomerase acts as a coenzyme, and the fumaryl Acetoacetate is finally cleaved by the fumaryl acetoacetate hydrolase by adding a water molecule.
fumarate (also a metabolite of the citric acid cycle) and acetoacetate (3-butanoic acid) are in the Free State, it can be converted to acetyl-CoA upon activation by succinyl-CoA, which in turn can be oxidized cyclically by citric acid or used for fatty acid synthesis.
Phloretic acid is also tyrosine of the urinary metabolite in rats.

The skin is not white, mainly depends on the ability of melanocytes to synthesize melanin. In the human epidermal cells, the distribution of melanocytes, it contains tyrosinase can be oxidized into tyrosine polysaccharide, intermediate after a series of metabolic processes, and finally can produce melanin. The more melanin is produced, the darker the skin; Conversely, the whiter the skin.
studies have shown that tyrosinase activity is closely related to copper, iron, zinc and other elements in the body. Often eat substances rich in tyrosine and rare elements of zinc, copper, iron, such as animal viscera, kidney, crustacean clams, crab, river snails, oysters, aquatic products black fish, beans, lentils, green beans, red beans, hard shell fruits such as peanuts, walnuts, black sesame seeds and currants, the color of the skin is black. Therefore, people living by the sea, fishing fishers, due to eat more aquatic products, so the skin is black.
