Profile
Name: TPH Base Pairs:1641bp Origin: Synthetic Properties: BBa_K3999000 is the coding sequence of tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH), which catalyzes the L-tryptophan to the 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan
Usage and Biology
As the rate-limiting enzyme of 5-HT synthesis, TPH plays an important role in invertebrate neuroregulation. In nature, serotonin is widely present in mammalian tissues, especially in the cerebral cortex and nerve synapses, and has a small amount in plants and fungi. In the pharmaceutical field, serotonin, as a drug, can participate in a variety of physiological functions of the organism, including emotion regulation, behaviour management, sleep cycle maintenance, and removal of harmful free radicals.
