Background
Tryptophan 5-hydroxylase 1 and 2 (TPH1 and TPH2) are enzymes that catalyze the monooxygenation of tryptophan to 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) which is subsequently converted to serotonin. By catalyzing the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of serotonin, these enzymes also play key roles in the signaling of other neurotransmitters downstream of serotonin synthesis, like melatonin. Additionally, TPH enzymes may play a role in immune regulation through tryptophan depletion.
