| amine tetrazolium reductase | <enzyme> Tetrazolium salts as hydrogen acceptors Registry number: EC 1.4.- Synonym: tryptamine dehydrogenase, monoamine tetrazolium reductase, monoamine dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| aromatic amine acetyltransferase | <enzyme> Marker for colourectal cancer Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| aromatic amine dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Oxidatively deaminates aromatic amines to aldehydes; phenazine methosulfate acts as electron acceptor Registry number: EC 1.5.99.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| biogenic amine | <biochemistry> Amines found in both animals and plants that are frequently involved in signalling. There are several groups: ethanolamine derivatives include choline, acetylcholine AMP, muscarine, catecholamines include adrenaline, noradrenaline & dopamine, polyamines include spermine, indolylalkylamines include tryptamine & serotonin, betaines include carnitine, polymethyline diamines include cadaverine & putrescine. (18 Nov 1997) |
| biogenic amine neurotransmitters | Biogenic amines released by neurons as intercellular messengers. The biogenic amines norepinephrine, dopamine, histamine, and serotonin are neurotransmitters in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vasoactive amine | A substance, such as histamine or serotonin, that contains amino groups and is pharmacologically characterised by its action on the blood vessels (altering vascular caliber or permeability). (05 Mar 2000) |
| receptors, biogenic amine | Cell surface proteins that bind biogenic amines with high affinity and regulate intracellular signals which influence the behaviour of cells. Biogenic amine is a chemically imprecise term which, by convention, includes the catecholamines epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine, the indoleamine serotonin, the imidazolamine histamine, and compounds closely related to each of these.

| retina-specific amine oxidase | <enzyme> Genbank d88213 Registry number: EC 1.4.- Synonym: rao enzyme, human (26 Jun 1999) |
| secondary amine monooxygenase | <enzyme> Catalyses NADH or NADPH dependent oxidative n-dealkylation of short chain aliphatic secondary amines with a methyl or ethyl group Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- Synonym: dimethylamine mono-oxygenase, secondary amine mono-oxygenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| sympathetic amine | An agent that evokes responses similar to those produced by adrenergic nerve activity (e.g., epinephrine, ephedrine, isoproterenol). Synonym: adrenergic amine, adrenomimetic amine, sympathetic amine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sympathomimetic amine | An agent that evokes responses similar to those produced by adrenergic nerve activity (e.g., epinephrine, ephedrine, isoproterenol). Synonym: adrenergic amine, adrenomimetic amine, sympathetic amine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tertiary amine monooxygenase | <enzyme> Requires NADPH and fad; can be separated from dimethylamine mono-oxygenase; oxidises a variety of tertiary alkylamines up to tributylamine Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- Synonym: trimethylamine mono-oxygenase (26 Jun 1999) |
