2 Pathway Catecholamines Tyrosine DOPA Dopamine Epinephrine
5/9/2018 Pathway Catecholamines Tyr OHase THBP, O2 PLP (vit B6) AAA deCO2ase Tyrosine DOPA Dopamine DbOHase Vit C, O2 Epinephrine PNMT SAM SAHC Norepinephrine THBP: tetrahydrobiopterin TyrOHAse: tyrosine hydroxylase, Fe-dependent DOPA: dihydroxyphenylalanine PLP: pyridoxal phosphate AAA deCO2ase: aromatic amino acid decarboxylase DbOHase: dopamine b-hydroxylase, Cu-dependent Vit C: vitamin C, ascorbic acid PNMT: phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase (the degradation enzyme is catechol-O-methyltransferase, acts on norepinephrine and epinephrine) SAM: S-adenosylmethionine SAHC: S-adenosylhomocysteine TrpOHase: tryptophan hydroxylase, Fe-dependent 5HTP: 5-hydroxytryptophan 5-HT: 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) Trp OHase O2 THBP, PLP (vit B6) AAA deCO2ase Tryptophan 5HTP Serotonin (5-HT)
