This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Acros Organics product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Acros Organics product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
General Description
• Tyramine is a naturally occurring monoamine that is derived from the decarboxylation of the amino acid tyrosine utilized in human and invertebrate nervous systems
• Tyramine is synthesized and released from neurons and acts as a neuromodulator upon binding to tyramine receptors
• Tyramine has been found to impact the immune system and cardiovascular system in humans
Applications
• Tyramine may be used to form tyramide conjugate, which can be used as a signal amplification reagent in immunofluorescence assays
• Tyramine-hyaluronic acid conjugates can be used to form biodegradable hydrogels, with utility in drug delivery and tissue engineering
• Tyramine is useful for laboratory studies of neuronal stimulation
