Amino Acids & Derivatives for Cell Culture
L-Tyrosine (CAS No. 60-18-4) is a high-purity amino acid (99% min) that appears as a white crystalline powder. It is commonly used as a supplement in cell culture media to support protein synthesis and maintain nutrient balance in mammalian cell lines such as CHO and HEK293. This amino acid is typically included in standard formulations like MEM, DMEM, and RPMI, helping improve cell viability and culture performance, especially under oxidative stress. Beyond its application in cell culture, L-Tyrosine is also used in the production of pharmaceutical intermediates, APIs, and nutritional products due to its biochemical relevance as a precursor to neurotransmitters like dopamine.
