General description

Epinephrine is a hormone, which is also termed as adrenaline. It is a monoamine and catecholamine.

Application

(-)Epinephrine (+)-bitartrate salt has been used:
  • to test the possible existence of β-adrenergic vasodilation
  • to infuse into the adipose region to minimize blood loss and tissue contamination
  • as a platelet agonist in the preparation of optimal platelet aggregometry 96-well plates
  • in the measurement of total superoxide dismutase (tSOD) enzymatic activity

Biochem/physiol Actions

Epinephrine is mainly liberated from adrenal medulla in response to stress, that is facilitated through sympathetic fibers.
Adrenergic receptor agonist.

Features and Benefits

This compound is featured on the α1-Adrenoceptors, α2-Adrenoceptors, β-Adrenoceptors and Dopamine, Norepinephrine and Epinephrine Synthesis pages of the Handbook of Receptor Classification and Signal Transduction. To browse other handbook pages, click here.
