Dopamine beta‐hydroxylase and its genetic variants in human health and disease
15 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DβH) is an essential neurotransmitter-synthesizing enzyme that catalyzes the formation of norepinephrine (NE) from dopamine and has been extensively studied since its discovery in the 1950s. NE serves as a neurotransmitter in both the central and peripheral nervous systems and is the precursor to epinephrine synthesis in the brain and adrenal medulla. Alterations in noradrenergic...
