    Reuptake transporters - noradrenalin

    Effects of noradrenaline reuptake transporters are shown in the noradrenergic synapse in the Figure. In the synapse, noradrenaline is metabolised by the monoamine oxidase enzyme (MAO).

    Postsynaptically, COMT (catechol-O-methyl transferase) converts noradrenaline into an inactive product.
