Its presence in snake venom causes vasoconstriction at the site of injury, and its release is stimulated by cocaine.
High levels of its namesake hydroxylase enzyme are partially responsible for the biosynthesis of melanonin, which is synthesized via the methylation and acetylation of this molecule. Its presence in snake venom causes vasoconstriction at the site of injury, and its release is stimulated by cocaine. Synthesized by enterochromaffin cells in both the bronchi and stomach, it is also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine, and it is degraded by monoamine oxidase type A, an enzyme which is inhibited by certain medications. Synthesized from l-tryptophan, for 10 points, name this neurotransmitter that got its name from its discovery in serum and whose re-uptake is inhibited by antidepressants like Zoloft and Prozac.
