DescriptionPhenylalanine is an essential aromatic amino acid that is a precursor of melanin, [dopamine], [noradrenalin] (norepinephrine), and [thyroxine].
Synonyms
  • Phenylalanine sodium
  • Phenylalaninum
  • 3-phenyl-L-alanine
  • Phenylalanine hydrochloride
  • (S)-2-Amino-3-phenylpropionic acid
Brand Names
  • Smofkabiven Peripheral
