Abstract

The chemical formula of dopamine is C6H3(OH)2-CH2-CH2-NH2. Normally dopamine is abbreviated as DA, that is, dopamine (DA). There are many chemicals in the category of cathecolamine and dopamine is one among them. Dopamine plays crucial role in the life of human beings and many other animals. Dopamine is essential for feel good factors in humans and many other mammals. They deficiency of dopamine stimuli or secretion in brain can lead to many mental diseases.
