MeSH Heading: Norepinephrine
Tree Number(s): D02.033.100.291.502; D02.092.063.480; D02.092.211.215.746; D02.092.311.830; D02.455.426.559.389.657.166.175.830
Unique ID: D009638
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D009638
Scope Note: Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.
