Phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase catalyzes the formation of epinephrine from norepinephrine, is found in appreciable quantities only in the brain and the adrenal medulla
#Id: 6518
Adrenal medullary PNMT is induced by glucocorticoids
#Id: 6519
Glucocorticoids are apparently necessary for the normal development of the adrenal medulla
#Id: 6520
In 21β-hydroxylase deficiency, glucocorticoid secretion is reduced during fetal life and the adrenal medulla is dysplastic
#Id: 6521
Reuptake of Norepinephrine via aNET (norepinephrine transporter) is a major mechanism to terminate the actions of norepinephrine.
#Id: 6522
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are metabolized to biologically inactive products by oxidation & methylation catalyzed by monoamine oxidase and catechol -O- methyltransferase respectively
