チロシン(tyrosine、英語発音: /ˈtaiərəˌsiːn/ タイアラスィーン)または、4-ヒドロキシフェニルアラニン (4-hydroxyphenylalanine) は、細胞でのタンパク質生合成に使われる22のアミノ酸のうちの一つ。略号は Tyr または Y[1]。コドンはUACとUAU。極性基を有する必須アミノ酸である。tyrosineはギリシア語でチーズを意味するtyriに由来し、1846年にドイツ人化学者のユストゥス・フォン・リービッヒがチーズのカゼインから発見した[2][3]。官能基または側鎖のときはチロシル基と呼ばれる。
タンパク質を構成するアミノ酸。極性無電荷側鎖アミノ酸あるいは芳香族アミノ酸に分類される。糖原性・ケト原性を持つ。
ヒドロキシ基の位置が異なる3種類の異性体、パラ-Tyr (p-Tyr)、メタ-Tyr (m-Tyr)、オルト-Tyr (o-Tyr) が存在するが、フェニルアラニンヒドロキシラーゼによる酵素反応で合成されるのは p-Tyr のみである。他の2つの異性体は酸化的ストレスが高い場合にヒドロキシルラジカルの攻撃によって生成する。 チロシンは酵素チロシンヒドロキシラーゼによってドーパに変換される。
プロテインキナーゼの作用でリン酸基による修飾を受け、ある種の酵素の機能や活性を変化させるため、シグナル伝達で重要な役割を果たしている。リン酸化されたチロシンはフォスフォチロシンと呼ばれる。また、チロシンは甲状腺ホルモンのチロキシン、トリヨードチロニンやメラニン色素、生理活性なカテコールアミンであるドーパミン、ノルエピネフリン、エピネフリンの前駆体である。
ケシがモルフィンを生産する際にも用いられている。
また、りんごを変色させる原因となる物質としても知られている。 タケノコの水煮では、節の中に、しばしば白く析出したチロシンが見られる。 納豆では長く発酵させると、大豆タンパク質の分解が進み水に溶けにくいチロシンが豆の表面にプツプツと現れる。食感もジャリジャリとした感じになる。この状態を納豆業界では「チロっている」と呼んでいる。 ギリシャ語でチーズを表すのtyriからチロシンは命名されたが、パルミジャーノ・レッジャーノ(パルメザンチーズ)という長期熟成のチーズではチロシンの析出が観察できる。たべたときにはジャリッとした食感となる。
動物ではフェニルアラニンよりフェニルアラニン-4-モノオキシゲナーゼ (EC 1.14.16.1) と補酵素テトラヒドロビオプテリン (tetrahydrobiopterin) の作用により合成されるが、これにはフェニルアラニンが豊富に存在する必要がある。フェニルアラニン-4-モノオキシゲナーゼ遺伝子の欠損は、フェニルケトン尿症の原因となっている。
植物や多くの微生物はシキミ酸経路によってプレフェン酸を経て合成を行う。プレフェン酸はヒドロキシ基を残したまま酸化的脱炭酸によって p-ヒドロキシフェニルピルビン酸となる。これがさらにグルタミン酸を窒素源としたアミノ基転移を受け、チロシンが生成する。
チロシンは、大量に飲用した場合は約2時間後に血中チロシン濃度のピークに達し7時間持続する。[4]
神経伝達物質の前駆物質であり、血漿中のノルアドレナリンやドパミンのレベルを増加させる。しかし気分に与える影響は殆ど無い。
冷水ストレスにさらしたラットの攻撃性を正常レベルにもどしたり、ヒトではストレス条件下の気分や認識作用の改善がみられた。[4]
睡眠不足状態で、覚醒3時間後の精神活動検査において持続時間が延長したという記録がある。[5]
成人におけるADHD(注意欠陥多動性障害)では、チロシン摂取により一時的に改善が見られる場合がある。[5]
チロシンには毒性がなく、有害事例の報告はない。一日に体重1kgあたり150mgで3ヶ月間で安全とされている。経口摂取の副作用としては吐き気、頭痛、疲労、胸焼け、関節痛など。(これらは成人について。小児、妊婦についての安全性はまだ報告されていない。)[4]

Týr (/ˈtɪər/;[1] Old Norse: Týr [tyːr]) is a god associated with law and heroic glory in Norse mythology, portrayed as one-handed. Corresponding names in other Germanic languages are Gothic Teiws, Old English Tīw and Old High German Ziu and Cyo, all from Proto-Germanic *Tîwaz (*Tē₂waz). The Latinised name is Tius or Tio.[2]
In the late Icelandic Eddas, Tyr is portrayed, alternately, as the son of Odin (Prose Edda) or of Hymir (Poetic Edda), while the origins of his name and his possible relationship to Tuisto (see Tacitus' Germania) suggest he was once considered the father of the gods and head of the pantheon, since his name is ultimately cognate to that of *Dyeus (cf. Dyaus), the reconstructed chief deity in Indo-European religion. It is assumed that Tîwaz was overtaken in popularity and in authority by both Odin and Thor at some point during the Migration Age, as Odin shares his role as God of war.
Tiw was equated with Mars in the interpretatio germanica. Tuesday is in fact "Tīw's Day" (also in Alemannic Zischtig from zîes tag), translating dies Martis.
Old Norse Týr, literally "god", plural tívar "gods", comes from Proto-Germanic *Tē₂waz (cf. Old English Tīw, Old High German Zīo), which continues Proto-Indo-European *deiwós "celestial being, god" (cf. Welsh duw, Latin deus, Lithuanian diẽvas, Sanskrit dēvá, Avestan daēvō "demon"). And *deiwós is based in *dei-, *deyā-, *dīdyā-, meaning 'to shine'.[3]
The earliest attestation for Týr's continental counterpart occurs in Gothic tyz "the t-rune" (𐍄) in the 9th-century Codex Vindobonensis 795.[4] The name is later attested in Old High German as Cyo in the A Wessobrunn prayer ms. of 814. The Negau helmet inscription (2nd century b.c.) may actually record the earliest form, teiva, but this interpretation is tentative.
Týr in origin was a generic noun meaning "god", e.g. Hangatyr, literally, the "god of the hanged", as one of Odin's names, which was probably inherited from Tyr in his role as god of justice.[citation needed] The name continues on as Norwegian Ty, Swedish Tyr, Danish Tyr, while it remains Týr in Modern Icelandic and Faroese.

A gloss to the Wessobrunn prayer names the Alamanni Cyowari (worshipers of Cyo) and their capital Augsburg Ciesburc.[5]
The Excerptum ex Gallica Historia of Ursberg (ca. 1135) records a dea Ciza as the patron goddess of Augsburg. According to this account, Cisaria was founded by Swabian tribes as a defence against Roman incursions. This Zisa would be the female consort of Ziu, as Dione was of Zeus.
The name of Mars Thingsus (Thincsus) is found in an inscription on an 3rd-century altar from the Roman fort and settlement of Vercovicium at Housesteads in Northumberland, thought to have been erected by Frisian mercenaries stationed at Hadrian's Wall. It is interpreted as "Mars of the Thing".[6] Here is also worth noting what Tacitus stated in his work Germania about capital punishment amongst the Germanic folk; that none could be flogged, imprisoned or executed, not even on order of the warlord, without the consent of the priest; who was himself required to render his judgement in accordance with the will of the god they believe inspires them to the field of battle.[7]
Tacitus also named the German "Mars" as the primary deity, along with the German "Mercury" (believed to be Odin), Hercules (believed to be Thor) and "Isis". In the text however, Hercules is the one to be mentioned the most often. Depending on translation, "Mercury" is stated to be the chiefly worshipped god but other translation does not provide any sort of hierchy among the gods. Tactius states that "Mars" and "Hercules" receive animal sacrifices while "Mercury" receives human sacrifices.[8][9]
In the Old English Rune Poem, the rune that is otherwise named for Tiw in the other rune poems (Abecedarium Nordmanicum, Old Norwegian Rune Rhyme, Old Icelandic Rune Poem), is called tir, meaning "glory". This rune was inscribed on more Anglo-Saxon cremation urns than any other symbol.[citation needed]
There is sketchy evidence of a consort, in German named Zisa: Tacitus mentions one Germanic tribe who worshipped "Isis", and Jacob Grimm pointed to Cisa/Zisa, the patroness of Augsburg, in this connection. The name Zisa could be derived from Ziu etymologically.
An early depiction of Tyr is found on the IK 190 bracteate found near Trollhättan, Sweden. The figure is shown with long hair, holding a sceptre in his left hand, and with a wolf biting his right.[10]
According to the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, at one stage the gods decided to shackle the Fenris wolf (Fenrir), but the beast broke every chain they put upon him. Eventually they had the dwarves make them a magical ribbon called Gleipnir. It appeared to be only a silken ribbon but was made of six wondrous ingredients: the sound of a cat's footfall, the beard of a woman, the roots of a mountain, bear's sinews (meaning nerves, sensibility), fish's breath and bird's spittle. The creation of Gleipnir is said to be the reason why none of the above exist.[11] Fenrir sensed the gods' deceit and refused to be bound with it unless one of them put his hand in the wolf's mouth.
Tyr, known for his great wisdom and courage, agreed, and the other gods bound the wolf. After Fenrir had been bound by the gods, he struggled to try to break the rope. Fenrir could not break the ribbon and enraged, bit Tyr's right hand off. When the gods saw that Fenrir was bound they all rejoiced, except Tyr. Fenrir will remain bound until the day of Ragnarök. As a result of this deed, Tyr is called the "Leavings of the Wolf"; which is to be understood as a poetic kenning for glory. After a heartbreaking battle (of Ragnarök) Fenrir swallowed Odin the All-father, whole.
Tyr appears in the Eddic Poem Hymiskviða.
According to the Prose version of Ragnarok, Tyr is destined to kill and be killed by Garm, the guard dog of Hel. However, in the two poetic versions of Ragnarok, he goes unmentioned; unless one believes that he is the "Mighty One".
In Lokasenna, Tyr is taunted with cuckoldry by Loki, maybe another hint that he had a consort or wife at one time.
In the Hymskvidha, Tyr's father is named as the etin Hymir – the term "Hymir's kin" was used a kenning for etinkind – while his mother goes unnamed, but is otherwise described in terms that befit a goddess. This myth also pairs Tyr with Thor, and draws a comparison between their strength via the lifting of Hymir's cauldron. Thor proves the stronger, but other than Thor's own son, Magni, Tyr is the only deity whose strength is ever questioned in comparison to the Thunderer's.
The t-rune ᛏ is named after Tyr, and was identified with this god; the reconstructed Proto-Germanic name is *Tîwaz. The rune is sometimes also referred to as *Teiwaz, or spelling variants.
The rune was also compared with Mars as in the Icelandic rune poem:
ᛏ Týr er einhendr áss |
Tyr is a one-handed god, |
In the sphere of organized warfare, Tyr/Tiw had become relatively unimportant compared to Odin/Woden in both North and West Germanic by the close of the Migration Age. Traces of the god remain, however, in Tuesday (Old English tíwesdæg "Tiw's day"; Old Frisian tîesdei, Old High German zîestag, Alemannic and Swabian dialect in south west Germany (today) Zieschdig/Zeischdig, Old Norse týsdagr), named after Tyr in both the North and the West Germanic languages (corresponding to Martis dies, dedicated to the Roman god of war and the father-god of Rome, Mars) and also in the names of some plants: Old Norse Týsfiola (after the Latin Viola Martis), Týrhialm (Aconitum, one of the most poisonous plants in Europe whose helmet-like shape might suggest a warlike connection) and Týviðr, "Tý's wood", Tiveden may also be named after Tyr, or reflecting Tyr as a generic word for "god" (i.e., the forest of the gods). In Norway the parish and municipality of Tysnes are named after the god.
German Dienstag and Dutch dinsdag (Tuesday) might be derived from Mars Thingsus, as mentioned above.
A number of Icelandic male names are derived from Týr. Apart from Týr itself: Angantýr, Bryntýr, Hjálmtýr, Hrafntýr, Sigtýr, Valtýr and Vigtýr. When Týr is used in this way, joined to another name, it takes on a more general meaning of "a god" instead of referring to the god Týr. For example, Hrafntýr "raven-god" and Valtýr "god of the slain" are Old Norse names of Odin.
