Steps in synthesis of NE/Epi
Tyr (extracell) --> Tyr (intracell) --> DOPA (via Tyr hydrox) --> DA (via DDC) --> enters vesicle --> NE (via DA b-hydrox)

To get Epi, NE leaves vesicle --> NE in cytoplasm --> Epi (via PMNT)

DDC = dopa decarboxylase
PMNT = phenylethanolamine-N-methylteransferase
what NE can do after release
1. diffuse away
2. reuptake (active transport). Primary method of ending NE action.

a. recycle (go to vesicle)
b. go to mitochondria --> inactivate by MAO
