Synthesis of Catecholamines | Nervous System |Animals
After reading this article you will learn about the synthesis of catecholamines. Norepinephrine (NE) or noradrenaline (NA) is the main transmitter at sympathetic neuro-effector junctions (except sweat glands and hair follicles) and CNS. Other neurotransmitters related to adrenergic transmission are dopamine (predominant in brain) and epinephrine (secreted by adrenal medulla). They are commonly named as catecholamines due to presence of [...]
