Hi Zeugie!
>i had no idea histamine was an indoleamine
It's not - but it is an amine. Serotonin and melatonin are indoleamines, derived from the amino acid tryptophan.
Epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine are catecholamines.
Serotonin, melatonin, NE, DA and histamine are all amines.... but they are different types of amines.
Kind regards
