A biogenic amine is a biogenic substance with one or more amine groups. They are basic nitrogenous compounds formed mainly by decarboxylation of amino acids or by amination and transamination of aldehydes and ketones. Biogenic amines are organic bases with low molecular weight and are synthesized by microbial, vegetable and animal metabolisms ...
Biogenic amine receptor are a variety of neurotransmitter receptors that are sensitive to biogenic amine neurotransmitters. They mostly belong to the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family of transmembrane receptors , specifically within GPCR "Family A" ( Rhodopsin -like receptors). [ 1 ]
Phenethylamine is a primary amine, the amino-group being attached to a benzene ring through a two-carbon, or ethyl group. [10] It is a colourless liquid at room temperature that has a fishy odor, and is soluble in water, ethanol and ether. [10] Its density is 0.964 g/ml and its boiling point is 195 °C. [10]
Crude oil, a transformed biogenic substance Natural gum, a secretion from Hevea brasiliensis. A biogenic substance is a product made by or of life forms. While the term originally was specific to metabolite compounds that had toxic effects on other organisms, [1] it has developed to encompass any constituents, secretions, and metabolites of plants or animals. [2]
They are deactivated in the body by the enzymes known as monoamine oxidases which clip off the amine group. Monoaminergic systems, i.e., the networks of neurons that use monoamine neurotransmitters, are involved in the regulation of processes such as emotion, arousal, and certain types of memory.
A catecholamine (/ ˌ k æ t ə ˈ k oʊ l ə m iː n /; abbreviated CA) is a monoamine neurotransmitter, an organic compound that has a catechol (benzene with two hydroxyl side groups next to each other) and a side-chain amine. [1] Catechol can be either a free molecule or a substituent of a larger molecule, where it represents a 1,2 ...
