Description

DL-5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a naturally occurring amino acid that is converted to serotonin in the brain. It is used to treat depression and anxiety, as well as other psychological disorders. 5-HTP has been shown to stimulate the production of serotonin, which may be due to its ability to activate 5-HT2 receptors. 5-HTP has also been shown to increase the activity of various enzymes, such as esterase and aminopeptidase, in human serum. 5-HTP has been shown to have no effects on carcinoid syndrome or 5-ht concentrations in blood plasma. However, it does have biochemical properties that are different from those of other amino acids and can be used as a fluorescent probe for biological research.
