摘要
Evidence is presented to suggest that N-acetyltyramine is the main intermediate on the pathway to N-acetyldopamine when S. gregaria thoracic ganglia are incubated with either [3H]-tyrosine or [3H]-tyramine. The subsequent o-hydroxylation of N-acetyltyramine is stimulated by ascorbic acid and inhibited by 5-fluorotryptamine. It appears to be catalyzed by an o-hydroxylase with cofactor and substrate specificities different from either mammalian tyrosine hydroxylase or tyrosinases from various sources [Calliphora and Periplaneta americana].
