3-Methyl-L-tyrosine

3-Methyl-L-tyrosine is a derivative of L-Tyrosine (HY-N0473). Structurally, 3-Methyl-L-tyrosine features a methyl modification at the third position of the aromatic ring of L-Tyrosine. As a substrate for the protein tyrosine kinase Csk, 3-Methyl-L-tyrosine's relative catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) is 38% of L-Tyrosine, indicating that the methyl modification impacts the processing efficiency of Gsk significantly. 3-Methyl-L-tyrosine helps to deepen the understanding of Gsk's molecular recognition mechanisms of its substrates, which is crucial for developing specific inhibitors targeting Gsk.
