PsiK - 4-hydroxytryptamine kinase from Psilocybe cubensis

PsiK is a 4-hydroxytryptamine kinase, which catalyses the conversion of 4-hydroxytryptamine to norbaeocystin.

Usage and Biology

PsiK is a native enzyme obtained from Psilocybe cubensis, which is involved in the metabolic biosynthesis of psilocybin from tryptophan. It accepts both 4-hydroxytryptamine and psilocin as substrates to yield norbaeocystin and psilocybin, respectively. Heterologous expression of PsiK has been achieved in Escherichia coli <add strain> in a <expression system>.
