[Auszug] In mammalian tissues the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of 5-HT is the hydroxylation of L-tryptophan and 5-HTP does not accumulate where the enzyme balance favours its decarboxylation rather than its biosynthesis. This particular balance of hydroxylase and decarboxylase activity is not ...
