Accession:GO:0042418 term browser browse the term
Definition:The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of epinephrine, a hormone produced by the medulla of the adrenal glands that increases heart activity, improves the power and prolongs the action of muscles, and increases the rate and depth of breathing. It is synthesized by the methylation of norepinephrine.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: adrenaline biosynthesis;   adrenaline biosynthetic process;   epinephrine anabolism;   epinephrine biosynthesis;   epinephrine formation;   epinephrine synthesis
