Description

D-Tyrosine is a white needle-like crystal, odorless, bitter, soluble in alkaline solution and dilute acid, difficult to dissolve in water, insoluble in acetone, ethanol and ether.

D-Tyrosine is an optically active form of tyrosine having D-Configuration. It has a role as an Escherichia coli metabolite. It is a tyrosine and a D-Alpha-Amino Acid. It is a conjugate base of a D-Tyrosinium. It is a conjugate acid of a D-Tyrosinate(1-). It is an enantiomer of a L-tyrosine. It is a tautomer of a D-tyrosine zwitterion.

Benefits

D-Tyrosine appears to inhibit L-tyrosine-mediated melanogenesis by competitively inhibiting tyrosinase activity.
