MeSH Heading: Tyramine
Tree Number(s): D02.092.211.215.811
Unique ID: D014439
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014439
Scope Note: An indirect sympathomimetic that occurs naturally in cheese and other foods. Tyramine does not directly activate adrenergic receptors, but it can serve as a substrate for adrenergic uptake systems and MONOAMINE OXIDASE to prolong the actions of adrenergic transmitters. It also provokes transmitter release from adrenergic terminals and may be a neurotransmitter in some invertebrate nervous systems.
