Definition
Biogenic amines: formed, in general, by decarboxylation of amino acids or their derivatives.
Clinical
- Each biogenic amine is derived from a specific amino acid and carries its own major physiological function.
High Yield
- Biogenic amines are formed by decarboxylation of amino acids or their derivatives.
- Different biogenic amines derive from different amino acids, each with its own major function.
