Target Information

Nitrotyrosine is a relatively stable product formed from various reaction pathways, notably from the reaction of peroxynitrite (formed from superoxide and nitric oxide radicals) with tyrosine. As a strong oxidant and nitrating agent, peroxynitrite mediates tyrosine nitration reactions on proteins, resulting in the inactivation of certain enzymes such as alpha1-antiproteinase and antioxidant enzymes like catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD).

Nitrotyrosine serves as an indicator of cell damage and inflammation, as well as nitric oxide (NO) production. It is considered a marker for NO-induced cellular damage and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory, infectious, and degenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), asthma, and atherosclerosis. Tyrosine nitration at the protein level can lead to loss or alteration of protein function, as demonstrated for proteins such as p53 and manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase (MnSOD).
