Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tyrosine hydroxylase is involved in the synthesis of catecholamines from the precursor molecule tyrosine, while monoamine oxidase is involved in the breakdown and metabolism of catecholamines. Therefore, both enzymes are important in the metabolism of catecholamines. Acetylcholinesterase is not involved in the metabolism of catecholamines.
