Descriptor tiramina
Scope note: Simpaticomimético indirecto presente de forma natural en el queso y otros alimentos. La tiramina no activa directamente los receptores adrenérgicos, pero sirve como sustrato para los sistemas de captación adrenérgica y para la MONOAMINOOXIDASA, prolongando así la acción de los transmisores adrenérgicos. También provoca la liberación de transmisores de las terminales adrenérgicas y puede ser un neurotransmisor en el sistema nervioso de algunos invertebrados.

Scope note: An indirect sympathomimetic that occurs naturally in cheese and other foods. Tyramine does not directly activate adrenergic receptors, but it can serve as a substrate for adrenergic uptake systems and MONOAMINE OXIDASE to prolong the actions of adrenergic transmitters. It also provokes transmitter release from adrenergic terminals and may be a neurotransmitter in some invertebrate nervous systems.
