Aerobic organism

An aerobic organism or aerobe is an organism that can survive and grow in an oxygenated environment.

See 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and Aerobic organism

Biotransformation

Biotransformation is the biochemical modification of one chemical compound or a mixture of chemical compounds.

See 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and Biotransformation

Catechol-O-methyltransferase

Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is one of several enzymes that degrade catecholamines (neurotransmitters such as dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine), catecholestrogens, and various drugs and substances having a catechol structure.

See 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and Catechol-O-methyltransferase

Dopamine

Dopamine (DA, a contraction of 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) is a neuromodulatory molecule that plays several important roles in cells.

See 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and Dopamine

Eucalyptus globulus

Eucalyptus globulus, commonly known as southern blue gum or blue gum, is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae.

See 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and Eucalyptus globulus

Glutamicibacter protophormiae

Glutamicibacter protophormiae is a bacterium belonging to the genus Glutamicibacter.

See 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and Glutamicibacter protophormiae

Homovanillic acid

Homovanillic acid (HVA) is a major catecholamine metabolite that is produced by a consecutive action of monoamine oxidase and catechol-O-methyltransferase on dopamine. 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and Homovanillic acid are Acetic acids and Phenolic human metabolites.

See 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and Homovanillic acid

Metabolite

In biochemistry, a metabolite is an intermediate or end product of metabolism.

See 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and Metabolite

Monoamine oxidase

Monoamine oxidases (MAO) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of monoamines, employing oxygen to clip off their amine group.

See 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and Monoamine oxidase

Neurotransmitter

A neurotransmitter is a signaling molecule secreted by a neuron to affect another cell across a synapse.

See 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and Neurotransmitter

Norepinephrine

Norepinephrine (NE), also called noradrenaline (NA) or noradrenalin, is an organic chemical in the catecholamine family that functions in the brain and body as a hormone, neurotransmitter and neuromodulator.

See 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and Norepinephrine

3-Methoxytyramine

3-Methoxytyramine (3-MT), also known as 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenethylamine, is a human trace amine that occurs as a metabolite of the neurotransmitter dopamine.

See 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and 3-Methoxytyramine

4-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid

4-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid is a chemical compound found in olive oil and beer. 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and 4-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid are Acetic acids.
