Difference between Melatonin and TPH1

Melatonin vs. TPH1

Melatonin, also known as N-acetyl-5-methoxy tryptamine, is a hormone that is produced by the pineal gland in animals and regulates sleep and wakefulness. Tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH1) is an isoenzyme of tryptophan hydroxylase which in humans is encoded by the TPH1 gene.

Similarities between Melatonin and TPH1

Melatonin and TPH1 have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Decarboxylation, Serotonin, Tryptophan, Tryptophan hydroxylase, 5-Hydroxytryptophan.

Decarboxylation

Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide (CO2).

5-Hydroxytryptophan

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), also known as oxitriptan, is a naturally occurring amino acid and chemical precursor as well as a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter serotonin.
