The regulated release of catecholamines by a cell or group of cells. The catecholamines are a group of physiologically important biogenic amines that possess a catechol (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) nucleus and are derivatives of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine. Any biological process involved in the generation, transmission, reception, or interpretation of a signal. A signal is an entity used to transmit or convey information. The process whereby a signal is secreted or discharged into the extracellular medium from a cellular source. The directed movement of dopamine into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Dopamine is a catecholamine neurotransmitter and a metabolic precursor of noradrenaline and adrenaline. The directed movement of catecholamines, a group of physiologically important biogenic amines that possess a catechol (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) nucleus and are derivatives of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine. The process whereby a signal is released and/or conveyed from one location to another. The cellular process by which a physical entity or change in state, a signal, is created that originates in one cell and is used to transfer information to another cell. This process begins with the initial formation of the signal and ends with the mature form and placement of the signal. The controlled release of a substance by a cell. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of dopamine. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of dopamine. The regulated release of dopamine by a cell or group of cells. Dopamine is a catecholamine and a precursor of adrenaline and noradrenaline. It acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system but it is also produced peripherally and acts as a hormone. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of dopamine.
