TPH
TPH also plays a crucial role in the synthesis of serotonin, where the rate-limiting step is catalyzed by TPH to convert tryptophan (an essential amino acid) to 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP).
Usage and Biology
As a neurotransmitter, serotonin can play the role of intestinal motility. If its secretion is insufficient, it can easily lead to the decline of intestinal motility, and then lead to chronic constipation. Therefore, promoting TPH expression is conducive to the treatment of chronic constipation. Experimental results about our 5-HT producing circuit can be found in our composite part BBa K4656007.
