Abstract excerpt
Brain neurotransmitter serotonin is involved in the regulation of many physiological functions and types of behavior. The key enzyme of serotonin synthesis in the brain is tryptophan hydroxylase-2 (TPH-2). An association of the C1473G polymorphism in gene tph2 causing the replacement of Pro447 by Arg447 in TPH-2 molecule with enzyme activity in the mouse brain of 10 inbred strains was found. Association of the...
