Nitrotyrosine , more correctly 3-nitrotyrosine , is a non-proteinogenic amino acid . The compound is created in organisms by the action of the reactive nitrogen species peroxynitrite on tyrosine .

properties

3-nitrotyrosine is a derivative of the proteinogenic amino acid tyrosine. It is a yellowish to slightly greenish solid with a decomposition point at around 235 ° C.

Occurrence and origin

Of the two possible enantiomers of chiral 3-nitrotyrosine, only the L form occurs in organisms . There it is formed from the proteinogenic amino acid tyrosine under the action of the peroxynitrite anion ( nucleophilic aromatic substitution ).

Biomarkers

3-nitro- L- tyrosine is used in laboratory diagnostics as a biomarker for nitrosative stress . The level of 3-nitro- L- tyrosine in the blood serum is increased in a number of diseases such as gastric cancer , arteriosclerosis , lung diseases (such as asthma), sepsis , vasculitis and other inflammatory diseases . In general, the compound is a biomarker for apoptosis (programmed cell death).

The detection of 3-nitro- L- tyrosine can take place , for example, via HPLC-MS .
