Epinephrine can be synthesized through a multi-step process starting with the amino acid tyrosine. Tyrosine is converted into L-DOPA, which is then decarboxylated to form dopamine. Dopamine undergoes hydroxylation to produce norepinephrine, and finally, methylation of norepinephrine leads to the formation of epinephrine. This synthesis typically occurs in the adrenal medulla of the adrenal glands in response to stress stimuli.
