A new role for catecholamines: ontogenesis
Article Abstract:
Studies on chordate and arthropod development show that catecholamines play a significant role in ontogenesis. Catecholamines are synthesized from the amino acid tyrosine in the presence of tyrosine hydroxylase, whose presence in cells signifies possible biosynthesis of catecholamines. This substance has been found in developing neuronal cells of the embryos of chicks, fruit-fly, rats, mice and humans, suggesting that catecholamines also act as morphogens in developing embryos.
