The directed movement of dopamine into a cell, typically presynaptic neurons or glial cells. Dopamine is a catecholamine neurotransmitter and a metabolic precursor of noradrenaline and adrenaline. The directed movement of organic alcohols into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. An organic alcohol is any carbon-containing compound containing a hydroxyl group. 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 directed movement of monoamines, organic compounds that contain one amino group that is connected to an aromatic ring by an ethylene group (-CH2-CH2-), into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. 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.
