PW:0001288
Those metabolic reactions involved in the degradation and/or conversion of phenylalanine. Phenylalanine is the precursor of tyrosine, which is in turn a precursor for a number of neurotransmitters and hormones. In plants, phenylalanine serves as a precursor for a large number of functional secondary metabolites.
