new term proposal catecholaminergic neuron

Need term catecholaminergic neuron
Def: Neurons that produce dopamine, norephinephrine or adrenaline.  CA 
synthesis involves four enzymes: tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), aromatic amino acid 
decarboxylase (AADC), dopamine b-hydroxylase (DbH), and 
phenylethanolamine-N-methyl transferase (PNMT) PMID:10191060 ISBN:
9780521442510     

Notes: Frequently used when describing the developing nervous system in 
zebrafish.  Cells express th or th2 genes.  
PMID: 12128258

Seems like a valid term. Is this still needed @cerivs?

[cerivs]

Yes please.

[dosumis]

This should be added using the logical definition pattern already in place for other neurons classified by NT.

e.g.

For this we need to request 'catecholamine secretion, neurotransmission' from GO and use that in the logical definition.

Some comments:

The proposed text def is:
"Neurons that produce dopamine, norephinephrine or adrenaline. CA
synthesis involves four enzymes: tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), aromatic amino acid
decarboxylase (AADC), dopamine b-hydroxylase (DbH), and
phenylethanolamine-N-methyl transferase (PNMT)"

• "Neurons" should be in singular form.

• The term epinephrine vs adrenaline should be used consistently:

A neuron that produces dopamine, norephinephrine or epinephrine.
OR
A neuron that produces dopamine, noradrenaline or adrenaline.

• The gloss may be too broad for the term 'catecholaminergic neuron'.

• The following GO terms already exist:

GO:0061527 'dopamine secretion, neurotransmission'
GO:0061533 'norepinephrine secretion, neurotransmission'
GO:0061529 'epinephrine secretion, neurotransmission'

Given that, should a new term 'catecholamine secretion, neurotransmission' be created in GO?

FYI @shawntanzk

[shawntanzk]

Ideally having a new term 'catecholamine secretion, neurotransmission' that has all the catecholamine secretion under it would be ideal. I'll create a ticket there. However, if there is any issue, we can also manually assert given its only 3. Give this ticket is from 2015 I don't think there is any rush. Will wait to see what GO says about the new term

@bvarner-ebi @shawntanzk, do you think this term can be the same as the one on row 37?

[shawntanzk]

from definition, yes, though my assumption is that the spleen is innervated by catecholaminergic neuron, and not has them? That being said given its a MIRACL sheet, I assume its just for term addition, in which case, yes, that is the same term.

Hi @cerivs, thank you for your request. Would you still want to include the following comment in the term?

Frequently used when describing the developing nervous system in zebrafish. Cells express th or th2 genes. (PMID: 12128258)

If so, could you provide your ORCID number to add, please?

[cerivs]

Hi,
Thank you. The note is still applicable. My ORCID is 0000-0002-2244-7917

[aleixpuigb]

Thank you, @cerivs. This class has been created and will be available in the new released scheduled for today.
