Serotonin Biosynthesis

Serotonin Biosynthesis is a biochemical process that involves the enzymatic conversion of the amino acid tryptophan into serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) through sequential reactions catalyzed by tryptophan hydroxylase and aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase within serotonergic neurons.
