Homovanillic acid is a dopamine metabolite formed via deamination of dopamine by monoamine oxidase (MAO) to produce DOPAC followed by DOPAC metabolism by catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). HVA undergoes hydrogen peroxide-dependent oxidation in the presence of horseradish peroxidase to form a fluorescent dimer that displays excitation/emission maxima of 312/420 nm, respectively. It has been used to quantify hydrogen peroxide production in macrophages and neutrophils.
