What happens to Noradrenaline/Norepinephrine in the synaptic cleft?

Question

Am I right in thinking that Noradrenaline/Norepinephrine released in the synaptic cleft gets removed by been broken down to small inactive componets which then get abosorbed back into the pre-synaptic cleft to be resynthesised to Noradrenaline/Norepinephrine? If I am right, any further detail would be great. Thanks alot.

Answer 1

Details are not known. But norepinephrine and noradrenaline are deaminated,methylated and products released to tissue fluids whence they are detoxicated. These hormones are not recycled.
