Click the image above or here to open this pathway in the Pathway Browser

Dopamine once taken up by the dopamine transporter from the extracellular space into the cytosol is metabolized in a two step reaction to homovanillic acid.The first reaction is catalyzed by catecholamine o-methyl transferase and the subsequent reaction is catalyzed by monoamine oxidase A.
