  <name>3-Methoxytyramine</name>
  <description>The O-methylated derivative of dopamine. Dopamine is methylated by catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) to make 3-Methoxytyramine.  This compound can be broken down to homovanillic acid by monoamine oxidase and aldehyde dehydrogenase.  Elevated concentrations of this compound are indicated for a variety of brain and carcinoid tumors as well as certain mental disorders. [HMDB]</description>
