Notes: L-Tyrosine is a conditionally essential amino acid.{61338} It is produced by hydroxylation of phenylalanine by phenylalanine hydroxylase but can also be obtained from dietary sources or degradation of endogenous proteins, resulting in L-tyrosine release.{61338,61339} L-Tyrosine is a precursor in the biosynthesis of catecholamine neurotransmitters, melanins, and thyroid hormones.{61340} Plasma, skeletal muscle, and erythrocyte levels of L-tyrosine are decreased in patients with chronic kidney disease.{61338}
