Description

Metyrosine is a selective tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme inhibitor. Metyrosine exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcerative effects. Metyrosine significantly inhibits high COX-2 activity[1]. Metyrosine is a very effective agent for blood pressure control[2].

In Vitro

Metyrosine acts by inhibiting tyrosine hydroxylase, thus causing depletion of adrenal stores of catecholamines[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
