Product name: GY

Synonyms: GY, Glycyl-L-tyrosine, Gly-Tyr, Glycyltyrosine, (S)-2-(2-Aminoacetamido)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid,

Sequence: Gly-Tyr

Purity: 95% by HPLC

Format: White powder

Description: Although tyrosine is considered indispensable during the neonatal period, its poor solubility has limited its inclusion in parenteral amino acid solutions to less than 1% of total amino acids. Dipeptides of tyrosine are highly soluble, have been shown to be well used and safe in animal models and humans, and, therefore, may be used as an effective means of providing tyrosine in the parenterally fed neonate. The dipeptide glycyl-L-tyrosine (GY) can be either a substrate for carboxypeptidase A (CPA) or an inhibitor, depending on pH.
