C2 cell group (C2)
The term C2 cell group refers to a group of cells that label for PNMT, the enzyme that converts norepinephrine to epinephrine (adrenalin); thus, they are regarded as 'putative adrenergic cells'. They are found in the dorsomedial medulla in conjunction with the noradrenergic group A2.They are seen in vertebrates, including rodents and primates ( Kitahama-1994 ).
