In plants, production of this chemical via P450 mono-oxygenase helps eliminate poisonous ammonia. The enzyme catalyzing this compound's production depends on biopterin and is found in large abundances in Raphe neurons. Myo-inositol in consumed foods serves to modulate activity of this neurotransmitter. In the body, about 80% of this neurotransmitter in the body is synthesized by the gut's enterochromaffin cells. Both MAOI and TCA therapies parallel a current method of treating depression by increasing extracellular levels of this tryptophan derivative also known as 5-HT. For 10 points, name this neurotransmitter regulating mood and appetite whose reuptake is selectively inhibited by anti-depressants like Prozac and other SSRIs.
