Written on in English with a size of 6.64 KB

Epinephrine and Norepinephrine Synthesis

The synthesis pathway for catecholamines like norepinephrine and epinephrine is as follows:

  1. Phenylalanine is converted to Tyrosine.
  2. Tyrosine is taken into the neuron via a transporter.
  3. Tyrosine is converted to L-DOPA by the enzyme Tyrosine Hydroxylase. (This is the rate-limiting step in the pathway).
  4. L-DOPA is converted to Dopamine by the enzyme Dopa Decarboxylase.
  5. Dopamine is transported into a vesicle via the Vesicular Monoamine Transporter (VMAT).
  6. Inside the vesicle, Dopamine is converted to Norepinephrine by the enzyme Dopamine Beta-Hydroxylase.
  7. Synthesis may stop at Norepinephrine, depending on the cell type.
  8. In the adrenal medulla, Norepinephrine can be further converted to Epinephrine by the enzyme Phenylethanolamine
