Abstract excerpt
Tryptophan hydroxylase, the initial and rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter serotonin, is activated by protein kinase A and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. One important aspect of the regulation of any enzyme by a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cascade, and one that is lacking for tryptophan hydroxylase, lies in the identification of its site of phosphorylation by...
