The chemical reactions and pathways involving serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine), a monoamine neurotransmitter occurring in the peripheral and central nervous systems, also having hormonal properties. [GOC:jl, ISBN:0198506732]
Serotonin metabolism is a complex process that involves the synthesis, release, reuptake, and degradation of serotonin (5-HT). Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in regulating mood, sleep, appetite, and other physiological functions.
**Synthesis:**
Serotonin is synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan. Tryptophan is converted to 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) by the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH). 5-HTP is then converted to serotonin by the enzyme aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC).
**Release:**
Serotonin is stored in synaptic vesicles in neurons. When a neuron is stimulated, serotonin is released into the synaptic cleft, where it binds to serotonin receptors on postsynaptic neurons.
**Reuptake:**
After serotonin is released, it is quickly reuptaken into presynaptic neurons by the serotonin transporter (SERT). This reuptake process is responsible for terminating the action of serotonin.
**Degradation:**
Serotonin is degraded by the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO). MAO breaks down serotonin into 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), which is then excreted in urine.
**Regulation:**
Serotonin metabolism is regulated by a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. For example, stress can increase serotonin release and decrease serotonin synthesis. Diet can also influence serotonin levels.
**Disorders:**
Disruptions in serotonin metabolism have been implicated in a number of disorders, including depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Medications that target serotonin metabolism are commonly used to treat these disorders.
**Summary:**
Serotonin metabolism is a complex process that is essential for normal brain function. This process involves the synthesis, release, reuptake, and degradation of serotonin. Disruptions in serotonin metabolism can contribute to a number of mental and physical health disorders.'
