MeSH Heading: Biogenic Amines
Tree Number(s): D02.092.211
Unique ID: D001679
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D001679
Annotation: general or unspecified; prefer specific biogenic amine group term or specific biogenic amine
Scope Note: A group of naturally occurring amines derived by enzymatic decarboxylation of the natural amino acids. Many have powerful physiological effects (e.g., histamine, serotonin, epinephrine, tyramine). Those derived from aromatic amino acids, and also their synthetic analogs (e.g., amphetamine), are of use in pharmacology.
Entry Term(s): Amines, Biogenic; Biogenic Amine
