Serotonin Synthesis

Serotonin Synthesis is a biochemical process that belongs to the class of monoamine neurotransmitter formation pathways, specifically characterized by the enzymatic conversion of the amino acid tryptophan into serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) through the sequential actions of tryptophan hydroxylase and aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase.
