1. Tyrosine

   L-Tyrosine or tyrosine (symbol Tyr or Y) or 4-hydroxyphenylalanine is one of the 20 standard amino acids that are used by cells to synthesize proteins. It is a non-essential amino acid with a polar side group. The word "tyrosine" is from the Greek tyrós, meaning cheese, as it was first discovered in 1846 by German chemist Justus von Liebig in the protein casein from cheese. It is called tyrosyl when referred to as a functional group or side chain. While tyrosine is generally classified as a hydrophobic amino acid, it is more hydrophilic than phenylalanine. It is encoded by the codons UAC and UAU in messenger RNA.

1. tyrosine

   Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid that is used by cells to synthesize proteins. It is considered nonessential because it can be made by the body from another amino acid, phenylalanine. Tyrosine plays key roles in various physiological processes, including the production of certain hormones and neurotransmitters, protein synthesis, and cell growth and differentiation. It is also a precursor for producing melanin, the pigment responsible for hair and skin color.
