Tyrosine (Tyr or Y) is an amino acid that is a building block of proteins and a precursor to several important biochemicals in the human body.
The name "tyrosine" is derived from the Greek word "tyros," which means cheese. This name was chosen because tyrosine was first isolated from casein, a protein found in cheese.
