Tyrosine is one of 20 amino acids used by human cells to synthesize the proteins they need. The common form of tyrosine called L-tyrosine is actually synthesized from another amino acid, phenylalanine.
Tyrosine is the precursor of several important adrenal and thyroid hormones, including epinephrine, norepinephrine, and thyroxine.
L-tyrosine is synthesized into melanin, the dark pigment which helps protect skin against the harmful effects of ultraviolet light. The thyroid hormones which have a role in nearly every biological process also contain tyrosine.
