(COMT and/or MAO) of dopamine. Several non-neuronal cell types are able to produce, transport and metabolise dopamine in a manner independent of dopamine neurotransmission. COMT: Catechol-O-methyltransferase; DAT: DA transporter; MAO: monoamine oxidase; TH: tyrosine hydroxylase; VMAT2: vesicular monoamine transporter 2.
