General description

3-Methoxytyramine is a metabolite of dopamine, a catecholamine which acts as a neurotransmitter for dopamine receptors and a neurohormone for regulation of numerous brain functions. 3-Methoxytyramine levels can serve as a biomarker for the diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors such as pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma. This certified solution standard is suitable for LC/MS applications in diagnostic testing, endocrinology, and clinical chemistry.

Application


  • Dopamine metabolite analysis: 3-Methoxytyramine HCl is integral to advanced methods for sensitive and simultaneous quantification of neurotransmitters and their metabolites, enhancing our understanding of neurochemical pathways in various neurological disorders (Becker et al., 2023).

  • Neurotransmitter research: Utilized in cutting-edge metabolic profiling techniques such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging, 3-Methoxytyramine HCl helps differentiate neurological conditions(Vallianatou et al., 2023).

  • Catecholamine biochemistry: In research for diagnosing pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas, 3-Methoxytyramine HCl is used to develop dual-template magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers for robust detection of urine metanephrines, demonstrating its critical role in medical diagnostics (Zeng et al., 2022).
