H-Ser-Tyr-OH is a dipeptide consisting of glutamic acid, glycine and histidine. H-Ser-Tyr-OH can form a copper(II) complex with copper ions to form a strong free radical scavenging activity. H-Ser-Tyr-OH also increases the intracellular uptake of the delta opioid receptor ligand deltorphin[1].
ChEBI: Ser-Tyr is a dipeptide formed from L-serine and L-tyrosine residues. It has a role as a metabolite. It is a dipeptide, a member of phenols, a primary alcohol and a secondary carboxamide. It is functionally related to a L-serine and a L-tyrosine.
