C1 cell group - BrainInfo

C1 cell group (C1)

The term C1 cell group refers to a group of cells that label for PNMT, the enzyme that converts norepinephrine to epinephrine (adrenalin); thus, they are regarded as 'putative adrenergic cells'. They are found in the ventrolateral medulla in conjunction with the noradrenergic group A1. The adrenergic group C1 is seen in vertebrates, including rodents and primates ( Kitahama-1994 ).

Also known as: C1 adrenaline cells, adrenergic group C1, C1 cell group

Models Where It Appears

Monoamine Cell Groups

are collections of neurons in the central nervous system that have been demonstrated by histochemical fluorescence to contain one of the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine ( Fuxe-1970 ) or epinephrine ( Kitahama-1994 ). They are classified respectively as serotonergic cell groups, dopaminergic cell groups, noradrenergic cell groups and adrenergic cell groups.
