Linked from

The 12 pages that link to Phenylalanine, each with the reason it gives.

• TyrosineRelated: Phenylalanine is tyrosine's metabolic precursor and a close structural relative.

• CatecholamineNarrower topic: Dietary phenylalanine can ultimately supply the tyrosine used for catecholamine synthesis.

• AspartameBroader topic: Aspartame releases phenylalanine during digestion, which matters for people with phenylketonuria.

• EpinephrineRelated: Its metabolic pathway supplies the starting material for epinephrine synthesis.

• TryptophanCompared with: Both are aromatic essentials, but phenylalanine lacks tryptophan's indole nitrogen and major serotonin pathway.

• Phenyl groupBroader topic: Its phenyl ring illustrates a common biological structure containing a phenyl-derived fragment.

• Phenylpropanoid pathwayRelated: It is the principal starting substrate named in the pathway’s defining reaction sequence.

• CoumarinRelated: Plants can channel it into the precursors used to make coumarin.

• ErythroseRelated: Its biosynthesis in plants and microbes begins with pathway input from erythrose 4-phosphate.

• Cinnamic acidRelated: Plants can form cinnamic acid by removing ammonia from phenylalanine.

• Phenylacetic acidRelated: Its carbon skeleton is related to phenylacetic acid and can feed into its metabolism.

• Amaryllidaceae alkaloidsRelated: Its metabolic products supply the aromatic building blocks used in alkaloid biosynthesis.
