Redrawn from File:Catecholamine and trace amine biosynthesis.png. The description there was: Diagram of trace amine and catecholamine biosynthesis in the human brain. The majority of this diagram is based upon the coverage and illustrations of these pathways in PMID 15860375 and PMID 19948186 The CYP2D6-mediated biosynthesis of dopamine from tyramine in the human brain is covered in PMID 24374199 The labeled image, with enzymes noted for the paths, is located at Template:Catecholamine and trace amine biosynthesis.
