Description

Methyl-4-tyramine (M4T) is a naturally occurring trace amine found in various plants and animals. It is a structural analog of tyramine, differing by the presence of a methyl group on the nitrogen atom. M4T is synthesized from tyramine through enzymatic methylation, often catalyzed by the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). Research on M4T has focused on its potential pharmacological effects, including its interactions with various neurotransmitter systems. M4T has shown affinity for the trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1), which is involved in regulating mood, attention, and arousal. Studies suggest that M4T may exert antidepressant effects through its activity at TAAR1. Furthermore, M4T has been shown to have potential therapeutic benefits in other conditions, such as obesity and Parkinson's disease. However, further research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms of action and potential therapeutic applications.'
