Tyrosine may help to reduce the irritability, depression, and fatigue associated with Premenstrual Syndrome. According to the researchers tyrosine may also stimulate growth hormone and can act as a mild appetite suppressant. Tyrosine supplements improves mental function in people who are deprived of sleep or exposed to other forms of stress. Tyrosine is specifically used to treat depression because it is a precursor for those neurotransmitters that are responsible for transmitting nerve impulses and essential for preventing depression.

L-Tyrosine is a precursor for the neurotransmitters dopamine, nor epinephrine and epinephrine, and to enkephalins, special peptides that sub due messages of physical discomfort. Tyrosine is also a element of amino sugars (glycosaminoglycans), special compounds which have key roles throughout the body. L-Tyrosine is also a precursor for the protective skin pigment melanin. During signal transduction tyrosine phosphorylation is a prominent mechanism for the regulation of protein-protein interactions. Tyrosine phosphorylation of a variety of cellular proteins is induced by the Stimulation of the TCR.

L-Tyrosine is also a combination of two thyroid hormones (D-phenylalanine, L-phenylalanine). D-phenylalanine is unique among amino acids because D-form (normally not found in life) has biological activity that is different from its L-stereoisomer. L-phenylalanine is a mixture of the two stereoisomer.
