The levorotary form of this chemical is the endpoint of the shikimate pathway, one branch of which sees this cyclic compound synthesized from 4-hydroxy-phenyl-pyruvate by reduction of L-glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate. DOPA is biologically synthesized by the action of this chemical's namesake hydrolase on it as it is the precursor of the catecholamines. This amino acid's side chain contains a phenyl group, so it can be made from the hydroxylation of phenylalanine. FTP, name this amino acid symbolized Y and named from the Greek for the substance in which it was first found, cheese.
