5 hydroxytryptophan Reference
- L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is both a drug and a natural component of some dietary supplements. 5-HTP is produced from tryptophan by tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH), which is present in two isoforms (TPH1 and TPH2).
- 5-HTP plays a major role both in neurologic and metabolic diseases and its synthesis from tryptophan represents the limiting step in serotonin and melatonin biosynthesis
- Plants are a rich source of 5-HTP and Griffonia simplicifolia Baill. (Caesalpinaceae) (also known as the alternate incorrect name Bandeiraea simplicifolia) seeds are the most used for the extraction and the commercial production of 5-HTP.
5-HTP can be produced via chemical synthesis, biosynthesis or natural plants extracted.
5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) can be converted to serotonin in the body. It is often used to treat depression. 5-HTP is a chemical byproduct of the protein building block L-tryptophan.
