Description

3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) is a metabolite of dopamine and is found in the central nervous system. Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter that is involved in the regulation of movement, emotional responses, and hormone release. Dopamine is synthesized from tyrosine by tyrosine hydroxylase and then converted to L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine by L-aromatic amino acid decarboxylase. DOPAC can be formed from dopamine by monoamine oxidases or catechol O-methyltransferases. The level of DOPAC in the brain has been shown to be increased following exposure to neurotoxins such as 6-hydroxy dopamine or 1-methyl 4-phenyl 1,2,3,6 tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). This increase may be due to decreased activity of monoamine oxidases. The level
