Essential Biochemistry - Neurotransmitters (Section 1 - No. 42)

After action, catecholamines:

Bind to receptors, causing the duration of the biological response to be prolonged

Dissociate from receptors quickly, causing the duration of the biological response to be brief.

Are stored in synaptic vesicles.

Are converted to serotonin

After action, the catecholamine dissociates from its receptor quickly, causing the duration of the biological response to be brief.
