Biogenic Amines & Neurology

Biogenic amines are produced in many different tissues (i.e. adrenaline in adrenal medulla or histamine in mast cells and liver). The amines are transmitted locally or via the blood system.

There are five established biogenic amine neurotransmitters: the three catecholamines—dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline), and epinephrine (adrenaline)—and histamine and serotonin. IBL-America offers other niche assay kits to support research in this area.

This category offers RIA and ELISA test kits for the measurement of biogenic amines, neurotransmitters, and some amino acids.
