N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine (CAS 537-55-3)
QUICK LINKS
N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine, or NALT, is a modified form of tyrosine, an essential amino acid present in proteins. This modification involves the addition of an acetyl group. N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine has been utilized in diverse scientific investigations, including those studying the effects of stress and the role of tyrosine in the central nervous system. It′s been used in research exploring the impacts of aging on cognitive performance and in examining tyrosine′s role in learning and memory processes. Additionally, N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine has been employed in studies investigating the influence of certain substances on cognitive performance and in probing the action mechanisms of various substances. N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine serves as a precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine, and is thought to boost dopamine availability in the brain by accelerating dopamine synthesis. It′s also believed to raise the levels of norepinephrine and epinephrine, which play integral roles in mood and behavior regulation.
