Description

Homovanillic acid is a metabolite of dopamine and noradrenaline, which has been implicated in the etiology of infectious diseases. Homovanillic acid is found in several biological samples and can be measured using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It has been shown to interfere with the polymerase chain reaction and may be an indicator of neuronal death. Homovanillic acid is also a metabolite of dopamine, which is involved in physiological processes such as cellular physiology, mood, and cognition. Homovanillic acid may also be used for diagnosis of infectious diseases by measuring cytosolic Ca2+.
