===Monoamines===
{{transcluded section|source=Trace amine|part=yes}}
Some prominent examples of biogenic monoamines include:

[[Monoamine neurotransmitter]]s
* [[Imidazole]]amines
** [[Histamine]] – a substance derived from the [[amino acid]] [[histidine]] that acts as a [[neurotransmitter]] mediating arousal and attention, as well as a pro-[[inflammation|inflammatory]] signal released from [[mast cell]]s in response to [[allergy|allergic]] reactions or tissue damage. Histamine is also an important stimulant of HCl secretion by the stomach through histamine H<sub>2</sub> receptors.
* [[Indolamines]]
** [[Serotonin]] – a [[central nervous system]] neurotransmitter derived from the [[amino acid]] [[tryptophan]] involved in regulating mood, sleep, appetite, and sexuality.
* The three [[catecholamine]] neurotransmitters:
** [[Norepinephrine]] (noradrenaline) – a neurotransmitter involved in sleep and wakefulness, attention, and feeding behavior, as well as a [[stress hormone]] released by the [[adrenal glands]] that regulates the [[sympathetic nervous system]].
** [[Epinephrine]] (adrenaline) – an adrenal stress hormone, as well as a neurotransmitter present at lower levels in the brain.
** [[Dopamine]] – a neurotransmitter involved in motivation, reward, addiction, behavioral reinforcement, and coordination of bodily movement.

[[Trace amine]]s (endogenous amines that activate the human [[TAAR1]] receptor)
