3-Methoxytyramine (3-MT), also known as 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenethylamine, is a human trace amine that occurs as a metabolite of the neurotransmitter dopamine.[1] It is formed by the introduction of a methyl group to dopamine by the enzyme catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT). 3-MT can be further metabolized by the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) to form homovanillic acid (HVA), which is then typically excreted in the urine.
Originally thought to be physiologically inactive, 3-MT has recently been shown to act as an agonist of human TAAR1.[1][2]
Occurrence
3-Methoxytyramine occurs naturally in the prickly pear cactus (genus Opuntia),[3] and is in general widespread throughout the Cactaceae.[4] It has also been found in crown gall tumors on Nicotiana sp.[5]
In humans, 3-methoxytyramine is a trace amine that occurs as a metabolite of dopamine.[1] {{Annotated image 4 | caption = {{{caption|In humans, catecholamines and phenethylaminergic trace amines are derived from the amino acid {{nowrap|L-phenylalanine}}.}}} | header_background = #F0F8FF | header = Biosynthetic pathways for catecholamines and trace amines in the human brain<ref name="Trace amine template 1">Broadley KJ (March 2010).
