Application

L-Tyrosine has been used to prepare tyrosine solution for tyrosinase assay. It has also been used to assay pepsin activity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid with a polar side chain. It is utilized by cells to synthesize proteins that have a role in signal transduction. L-Tyrosine is a proteogenic amino acid that acts as a receiver of phosphate groups that are transferred by kinases.

Other Notes

Amino acid precursor of dopamine and other catecholamines

Enzymatic Assay of Proteinase K with Hemoglobin Substrate

Proteinase K (EC 3.4.21.64) activity can be measured spectrophotometrically using hemoglobin as the substrate. Proteinase K hydrolyzes hemoglobin denatured with urea, and liberates Folin-postive amino acids and peptides. One unit will hydrolyze hemoglobin to produce color equivalent to 1.0 μmol of tyrosine per minute at pH 7.5 at 37 °C (color by Folin & Ciocalteu's Phenol Reagent).

Protocols

Universal Protease Activity Assay: Casein as a Substrate

Proteases break peptide bonds. In the lab, it is often necessary to measure and/or compare the activity of proteases. Sigma's non-specific protease activity assay may be used as a standardized procedure to determine the activity of proteases, which is what we do during our quality control procedures.

Universal Protease Activity Assay using Casein as a Substrate

Measure and compare the activity of proteases with this non-specific protease activity assay using casein. Use this assay as a standardized procedure to determine the activity of proteases for quality control.
