Normetanephrine（Cat No.:I042503）is a metabolite of norepinephrine, produced through the action of the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) on norepinephrine. It is primarily found in the bloodstream and is used as a biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring conditions related to the sympathetic nervous system. Elevated levels of normetanephrine can be indicative of pheochromocytoma, a rare tumor of the adrenal glands that overproduces catecholamines. Measurement of normetanephrine is often used in diagnostic tests to assess the presence of such tumors, as well as to monitor treatment efficacy and disease progression in affected patients.
