title = "Metabolism of tyramine in the central nervous system of the moth Manduca sexta",
abstract = "Three distinct metabolites of tyramine are produced by central nervous tissue of pharate-adult Manduca sexta incubated in vitro with [3H]-tyramine. The chemical identities of these metabolites have been sought by a combination of electrophoretic, chromatographic, hydrolytic and enzymic procedures. One of the compounds is N-acetyltyramine, and the others appear to be β-alanyltyramine and a sugar conjugate, possibly of N-acetyltyramine.",
