    Product Description

    Nitrotyrosine is formed by peroxynitrite-mediated nitration of protein tyrosine residues. Its presence on proteins can be used as a marker for peroxynitrite formation in vivo.1,2,3,4 Both free and protein-bound nitrotyrosine are commonly found in mammalian tissues and are increased in pathological conditions.2,5,6 The basal levels of free nitrotyrosine in human plasma is approximately 3 nM as determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.7,8

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
