Tyramine is a biogenic amine and a neuromodulator, localized to the nervous system. Tyramine is formed from tyrosine by the enzyme Tyrosine decarboxylase and has been found to be associated with a number of psychiatric disorders. Tyramine ingestion depletes serotonin, epinephrine and norepinephrine reserves, which results in elevated biological events such as cardiovascular function, blood pressure, glucose production and overall metabolism. Tyramine is present is several food sources and the process of food fermentation and spoilage increases its tyramine content. It also causes depression, migraine and insomnia and can enter catecholaminergic terminals and be released as a false transmitter.
