General Information
Term norepinephrine biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0042421 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of norepinephrine, a hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla, and a neurotransmitter in the sympathetic peripheral nervous system and in some tracts in the central nervous system. It is also the demethylated biosynthetic precursor of epinephrine.[ ISBN:0198506732 ]
Also Known As "levarterenol biosynthesis" ; "levarterenol biosynthetic process" ; "noradrenaline biosynthesis" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
