Description
N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine Product Overview
N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine (C11H13NO4) is a white crystalline powder. Acetylation of the amino group makes it far more soluble in water than L-Tyrosine, which dissolves only about 0.45 g/L.
In addition, pharmaceutical companies use it as a soluble tyrosine source in amino acid solutions for parenteral nutrition. Similarly, biotech producers use it in concentrated cell culture media, and producers of nutritional products use it in capsules and powders, under the regulations of each market. Cosmetic formulators also use it in tanning accelerators and skin care.
Furthermore, other amino acids and derivatives in our range include N-Acetyl-DL-Methionine, L-Serine and Glycine.
