General Annotation
Function:
Vanillyl mandelic acid (VMA) is an end-stage metabolite of the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine. It is produced via intermediary metabolites.
VMA is found in the urine, along with other catecholamine metabolites, including homovanillic acid (HVA), metanephrine and normetanephrine. In timed urine tests the quantity excreted (usually per 24 hours) is assessed, along with creatinine clearance, and the quantity of cortisols, catecholamines, and metanephrines excreted.
