Abstract excerpt
Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) serves as the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of serotonin, and two forms of TPH genes, TPH1 and TPH2, have been reported with specific nucleotide sequences and expression patterns. We determined the sequences of these two genes and identified polymorphisms within their coding regions. We identified five novel single nucleotide polymorphisms in the TPH2 gene, one of which...
