normetanephrine
Also known as N111, Dl-N-Normetanephrine, Dl-Normetanephrine, alpha-(Aminomethyl)-4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-Benzenemethanol, (+/-)-Normetanephrine, L-Normetanephrine, 3-Methoxy-Noradrenaline, Normetadrenaline
Normetanephrine, also called normetadrenaline, is a metabolite of norepinephrine created by action of catechol-O-methyl transferase on norepinephrine. It is excreted in the urine and found in certain tissues. It is a marker for catecholamine-secreting tumors such as pheochromocytoma.
