General Information
Term octopamine biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0006589 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of octopamine, 1-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-aminoethanol. The D enantiomer is about one-tenth as active as norepinephrine and is found in the salivary glands of Octopus and Eledone species.[ ISBN:0198506732 ]
Also Known As "octopamine anabolism" ; "octopamine biosynthesis" ; "octopamine formation" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
