5-Hydroxydopamine（Cat No.:I019850） is a naturally occurring amine found in human urine. It is a derivative of dopamine and serves as a neurotransmitter and a precursor in the synthesis of other important neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and epinephrine. In addition to its physiological roles, 5-hydroxydopamine is also widely used in scientific research as a neurotoxin to selectively destroy dopaminergic neurons in animal models, aiding in the study of neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s disease.
