3-メトキシチラミン

Also known as 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenethylamine, 3-MT, 4-(2-aminoethyl)-2-methoxy-phenol, 4-(2-azanylethyl)-2-methoxy-phenol, 4-(2-aminoethyl)-2-methoxyphenol, 4-(2-Amino-ethyl)-2-methoxy-phenol, 5-(2-Aminoethyl)guaiacol, 3-O-Methyldopamine

3-Methoxytyramine (3-MT), also known as 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenethylamine, is a human trace amine and the major metabolite of the monoamine neurotransmitter dopamine. It is formed by the introduction of a methyl group to dopamine by the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). 3-MT can be further metabolized by the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) to form homovanillic acid (HVA), which is then typically excreted in the urine.
