1 The catalytic competence of cytochrome P450 in the synthesis of serotonin from 5-methoxytryptamine in the brain: an in vitro study. 5-Methoxytryptamine cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily g, polypeptide 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 The aim of present study was to identify rat cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms which can catalyze the O-demethylation of 5-methoxytryptamine to serotonin, and to find out whether that alternative pathway of serotonin synthesis may take place in the brain. 5-Methoxytryptamine cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily g, polypeptide 1 Rattus norvegicus
3 The aim of present study was to identify rat cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms which can catalyze the O-demethylation of 5-methoxytryptamine to serotonin, and to find out whether that alternative pathway of serotonin synthesis may take place in the brain. 5-Methoxytryptamine cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily g, polypeptide 1 Rattus norvegicus
4 Of the rat CYP isoforms studied, CYP2D isoforms were the most efficient in catalyzing the O-demethylation of 5-methoxytryptamine to serotonin, but they were less effective than the human isoform CYP2D6. 5-Methoxytryptamine cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily g, polypeptide 1 Rattus norvegicus
