フェニルアラニン (phenylalanine) はアミノ酸の一種で、側鎖にベンジル基を持つ。略号は Phe または F。アラニンの側鎖の水素原子が1つフェニル基で置き換えられた構造を持つことが名称の由来である。室温では白色の粉末性固体である。
性質
タンパク質構成アミノ酸で、牛乳、卵、肉などの食品中のたんぱく質に多く含まれている必須アミノ酸の1つ。非極性側鎖アミノ酸で、芳香族アミノ酸。糖原性を持つ。
他のアミノ酸と同じく、D体とL体の2つのエナンチオマーを持つ。L-フェニルアラニン (LPA) は天然に存在する化合物であり、DNAによってコードされ、タンパク質を構成する。D-フェニルアラニン (DPA) は化学合成によって人工的に作り出される化合物である。
L-フェニルアラニンは生体内で L-チロシンに変換され、さらに L-ドーパとなる。これがさらにドーパミンやノルアドレナリン、アドレナリンへと誘導される。D-フェニルアラニンはフェネチルアミンに変換されるのみである。
8万人に1人と言われるフェニルケトン尿症では、このフェニルアラニンをチロシンに変化させる酵素、フェニルアラニン-4-モノオキシゲナーゼ (EC 1.14.16.1) の遺伝子の完全欠損により、血中にフェニルアラニンが異常に蓄積される。そのためフェニルアラニンの摂取を控えねばならない。シュガーレスガムなど多くの食品に含まれ、「フェニルアラニンを含む」旨の注意書きが表示されている。実際にはフェニルアラニンそのものが添加されているわけではなく、体内で分解されてフェニルアラニンを生成させる化合物を含む場合にこの表示が付される。例えば甘味料のアスパルテームは加水分解によってフェニルアラニン、アスパラギン酸、メタノールとなる。
コドンの中ではフェニルアラニンのものが最初に発見された。マーシャル・ニーレンバーグ (Marshall Warren Nirenberg) が発見者である。連続したウラシルからなる mRNA をバクテリア E. coli に挿入すると、そのバクテリアはフェニルアラニンのみを繰り返し単位とする新規なタンパク質を生産することを見出した。
フェニルアラニンは血液脳関門を通過する際にトリプトファンと同じチャネルを使用しており、大量に存在するとセロトニンの生成を阻害する。
合成によって作り出されるラセミ体の DL-フェニルアラニン (DLPA) はサプリメントとして利用される。DLPA は慢性疼痛やうつ病、あるいは月経前症候群による情緒不安定に有効な場合があるとされる。また、ADHD(注意欠陥多動性障害)の発症者の活力や注意力・集中力を増進させるという調査結果がある。
生合成
動物はフェニルアラニンを体内で作り出すことができないため、食物から摂取する必要がある。植物や大部分の微生物においてはシキミ酸経路によってプレフェン酸から生合成される。
プレフェン酸が脱炭酸されると同時にヒドロキシ基を失い、フェニルピルビン酸となる。これがグルタミン酸を窒素源とするアミノ基転移を受け、フェニルアラニンと α-ケトグルタル酸を与える。

Phenylalanine (US: , UK: ; abbreviated as Phe or F)[2] is an α-amino acid with the formula C6H5CH2CH(NH2)COOH. It can be viewed as a benzyl group substituted for the methyl group of alanine, or a phenyl group in place of a terminal hydrogen of alanine. This essential amino acid is classified as neutral, and nonpolar because of the inert and hydrophobic nature of the benzyl side chain. The L-isomer is used to biochemically form proteins, coded for by DNA. The codons for L-phenylalanine are UUU and UUC. Phenylalanine is a precursor for tyrosine; the monoamine neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline), and epinephrine (adrenaline); and the skin pigment melanin.
Phenylalanine is found naturally in the breast milk of mammals. It is used in the manufacture of food and drink products and sold as a nutritional supplement for its reputed analgesic and antidepressant effects. It is a direct precursor to the neuromodulator phenethylamine, a commonly used dietary supplement.

History
The first description of phenylalanine was made in 1879, when Schulze and Barbieri identified a compound with the empirical formula, C9H11NO2, in yellow lupine (Lupinus luteus) seedlings. In 1882, Erlenmeyer and Lipp first synthesized phenylalanine from phenylacetaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide, and ammonia.[3][4]
The genetic codon for phenylalanine was first discovered by J. Heinrich Matthaei and Marshall W. Nirenberg in 1961. They showed that by using mRNA to insert multiple uracil repeats into the genome of the bacterium E. coli, they could cause the bacterium to produce a polypeptide consisting solely of repeated phenylalanine amino acids. This discovery helped to establish the nature of the coding relationship that links information stored in genomic nucleic acid with protein expression in the living cell.
Biosynthesis
As an essential amino acid, phenylalanine is not synthesized de novo in humans and other animals, who must ingest phenylalanine or phenylalanine-containing proteins.

This section requires expansion. (January 2016) |
Dietary sources
Good sources of phenylalanine are eggs, chicken, liver, beef, milk, and soybeans.[5] Other sources include spinach and leafy greens, tofu, amaranth leaves, and lupin seeds.
Other biological roles
L-Phenylalanine is biologically converted into L-tyrosine, another one of the DNA-encoded amino acids. L-tyrosine in turn is converted into L-DOPA, which is further converted into dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline), and epinephrine (adrenaline). The latter three are known as the catecholamines.
Phenylalanine uses the same active transport channel as tryptophan to cross the blood–brain barrier. In excessive quantities, supplementation can interfere with the production of serotonin and other aromatic amino acids as well as nitric oxide due to the overuse (eventually, limited availability) of the associated cofactors, iron or tetrahydrobiopterin. Phenylalanine, which is found in the synthetic chemical aspartame (a sugar substitute) can, as a constituent of high doses of aspartame, occasionally cause seizures, according to MSN Health and Fitness, though there is only some evidence to support that theory, and it is mixed and the risk is small.[6] The corresponding enzymes in for those compounds are the aromatic amino acid hydroxylase family and nitric oxide synthase.

Phenylalanine in humans may ultimately be metabolized into a range of different substances.
In plants
Phenylalanine is the starting compound used in the synthesis of flavonoids. Lignan is derived from phenylalanine and from tyrosine. Phenylalanine is converted to cinnamic acid by the enzyme phenylalanine ammonia-lyase.[9]
Phenylketonuria
Main article: Phenylketonuria
The genetic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU) is the inability to metabolize phenylalanine because of a lack of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. Individuals with this disorder are known as "phenylketonurics" and must regulate their intake of phenylalanine. A (rare) "variant form" of phenylketonuria called hyperphenylalaninemia is caused by the inability to synthesize a cofactor called tetrahydrobiopterin, which can be supplemented. Pregnant women with hyperphenylalaninemia may show similar symptoms of the disorder (high levels of phenylalanine in blood) but these indicators will usually disappear at the end of gestation. Pregnant women with PKU must control their blood phenylalanine levels even if the fetus is heterozygus for the defective gene because the fetus could be adversely affected due to hepatic immaturity.[medical citation needed] Individuals who cannot metabolize phenylalanine must monitor their intake of protein to control the buildup of phenylalanine as their bodies convert protein into its component amino acids.
Phenylketonurics often use blood tests to monitor the amount of phenylalanine in their blood. Lab results may report phenylalanine levels in different units, including mg/dL and μmol/L. One mg/dL of phenylalanine is approximately equivalent to 60 μmol/L.
A non-food source of phenylalanine is the artificial sweetener aspartame. This compound, sold under the trade names Equal and NutraSweet, is metabolized by the body into several chemical byproducts including phenylalanine. The breakdown problems phenylketonurics have with protein and the attendant buildup of phenylalanine in the body also occurs with the ingestion of aspartame, although to a lesser degree. Accordingly, all products in Australia, the U.S. and Canada that contain aspartame must be labeled: "Phenylketonurics: Contains phenylalanine." In the UK, foods containing aspartame must carry ingredient panels that refer to the presence of "aspartame or E951"[10] and they must be labeled with a warning "Contains a source of phenylalanine." In Brazil, the label "Contém Fenilalanina" (Portuguese for "Contains Phenylalanine") is also mandatory in products which contain it. These warnings are placed to aid individuals who have been diagnosed with PKU so that they can avoid such foods.
Geneticists have recently sequenced the genome of macaques. Their investigations have found "some instances where the normal form of the macaque protein looks like the diseased human protein" including markers for PKU.[11]
D-, L- and DL-phenylalanine
The stereoisomer D-phenylalanine (DPA) can be produced by conventional organic synthesis, either as a single enantiomer or as a component of the racemic mixture. It does not participate in protein biosynthesis although it is found in proteins in small amounts - particularly aged proteins and food proteins that have been processed. The biological functions of D-amino acids remain unclear, although D-phenylalanine has pharmacological activity at niacin receptor 2.[12]
DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA) is marketed as a nutritional supplement for its supposed analgesic and antidepressant activities. DL-Phenylalanine is a mixture of D-phenylalanine and L-phenylalanine. The reputed analgesic activity of DL-phenylalanine may be explained by the possible blockage by D-phenylalanine of enkephalin degradation by the enzyme carboxypeptidase A.[13] The mechanism of DL-phenylalanine's supposed antidepressant activity may be accounted for by the precursor role of L-phenylalanine in the synthesis of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine. Elevated brain levels of norepinephrine and dopamine are thought to have an antidepressant effect. D-Phenylalanine is absorbed from the small intestine and transported to the liver via the portal circulation. A small amount of D-phenylalanine appears to be converted to L-phenylalanine. D-Phenylalanine is distributed to the various tissues of the body via the systemic circulation. It appears to cross the blood–brain barrier less efficiently than L-phenylalanine, and so a small amount of an ingested dose of D-phenylalanine is excreted in the urine without penetrating the central nervous system.[citation needed]
L-Phenylalanine is an antagonist at α2δ Ca2+ calcium channels with a Ki of 980 nM.[14] At higher doses, this may play a role in its analgesic and antidepressant properties.
In the brain, L-phenylalanine is a competitive antagonist at the glycine binding site of NMDA receptor[15] and at the glutamate binding site of AMPA receptor.[16] At the glycine binding site of NMDA receptor L-phenylalanine has an apparent equilibrium dissociation constant (KB) of 573 µM estimated by Schild regression[17] which is considerably lower than brain L-phenylalanine concentration observed in untreated human phenylketonuria.[18] L-Phenylalanine also inhibits neurotransmitter release at glutamatergic synapses in hippocampus and cortex with IC50 of 980 µM, a brain concentration seen in classical phenylketonuria, whereas D-phenylalanine has a significantly smaller effect.[16]
Commercial synthesis
L-Phenylalanine is produced for medical, feed, and nutritional applications, such as aspartame, in large quantities by utilizing the bacterium Escherichia coli, which naturally produces aromatic amino acids like phenylalanine. The quantity of L-phenylalanine produced commercially has been increased by genetically engineering E. coli, such as by altering the regulatory promoters or amplifying the number of genes controlling enzymes responsible for the synthesis of the amino acid.[19]
Derivatives
Boronophenylalanine (BPA) is a dihydroxyboryl derivative of phenylalanine, used in neutron capture therapy.
