Pheochromocytoma is a tumor in the region where these compounds are produced, and some of them can be detected in a urine test by the presence of vanilylmandelic acid and homovanilic acid.
Pheochromocytoma is a tumor in the region where these compounds are produced, and some of them can be detected in a urine test by the presence of vanilylmandelic acid and homovanilic acid. The cyclization of this class of compounds occurs when reacted with formaldehyde vapors, and was used by Flack and Hillarp to detect them using fluoroscense methods, while Chromogranin A is co-found and co-stored along with this class of hormones. Their synthesis begins with the hydroxylation of tyrosine, and they are catabolized by monoamine oxidases and COMTs, and they are secreted by the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. For 10 points, identify this class of hormones which are 3,4-dihydro derivatives phenylethylamine and are exemplified by norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine.
