描述
Homovanillic acid sulfate is a component of olive oil and is a major catecholamine metabolite.It is used as a reagent to detect oxidative enzymes, and is associated with dopamine levels in the brain.
In psychiatry and neuroscience, brain and cerebrospinal fluid levels of homovanillic acid (HVA) are measured as a marker of metabolic stress caused by 2-deoxy-D-glucose. HVA presence supports a diagnosis of neuroblastoma and malignant pheochromocytoma. [HMDB]
