Conversion of lysine into cadaverine
Major 5 types
Dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline), and epinephrine (adrenaline) (3 catecholamines)
Histamine and serotonin
#Catecholamines are derived from Tyrosine. These amines are neurotransmitters in a sympathetic limb of the autonomic nervous system and in the CNS. Dopamine is involved in motivation, reward, addiction, behavioral reinforcement, and coordination of bodily movement.
#Histamine is derived from Histidine. It mediates arousal and attention, as well as a pro-nflammatory signal released from mast cells in response to allergic reactions or tissue damage.
#Serotonin is derived from Tryptophan. It, along with melatonin is indolamine.
Amphetamine is a trace biogenic amine, a potent central nervous system (CNS) stimulant that is used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy, and obesity. Its often abused as drug for recreational purposes.
