Ontology: Catecholamines (C0007412)
| Definition (NCI_NCI-GLOSS) | A type of neurohormone (a chemical that is made by nerve cells and used to send signals to other cells). Catecholamines are important in stress responses. High levels cause high blood pressure which can lead to headaches, sweating, pounding of the heart, pain in the chest, and anxiety. Examples of catecholamines include dopamine, epinephrine (adrenaline), and norepinephrine (noradrenaline). |
| Definition (NCI) | A group of sympathetic amines containing a catechol group derived from the amino acid tyrosine. Catecholamines are hormones and neuromodulators synthesized in the chromaffin cells of the adrenal glands and the postganglionic fibers of the sympathetic nervous system in response to stress. Examples of catecholamines are epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and dopamine, all of which participate in a wide variety of functions throughout the body. |
| Definition (MSH) | A general class of ortho-dihydroxyphenylalkylamines derived from tyrosine. |
| Definition (CSP) | any of various substances that contain a benzene ring with two adjacent hydroxyl groups and a side chain of ethylamine and that function as hormones or neurotransmitters or both; examples are dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. |

Ontology: Adrenergic Receptor (C0034783)
| Definition (MSH) | Cell-surface proteins that bind epinephrine and/or norepinephrine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. The two major classes of adrenergic receptors, alpha and beta, were originally discriminated based on their cellular actions but now are distinguished by their relative affinity for characteristic synthetic ligands. Adrenergic receptors may also be classified according to the subtypes of G-proteins with which they bind; this scheme does not respect the alpha-beta distinction. |
| Definition (PSY) | Class of neural receptors that are sensitive to the neurotransmitters epinephrine and norepinephrine. |
| Definition (CSP) | family of G protein coupled receptors sensitive to epinephrine, norepinephrine, and their analogs, found in smooth and cardiac muscle, autonomic ganglia, brain, and elsewhere. |
