Abstract excerpt
Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) catalyses the first and rate limiting step in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter serotonin. There are two TPH isoenzymes in humans, encoded by two different genes: TPH1 and the recently described TPH2. We have expressed both human enzymes and various deletion mutants of TPH2 (DeltaN44, DeltaC17, DeltaC19, DeltaC51) in COS7 cells. TPH1 and 2 displayed different kinetic properties...
