5-hydroxytryptophan

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a tryptophan metabolite that serves as the immediate biosynthetic precursor to serotonin. It is a substrate for aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase and is widely used in neuroscience research to study serotonin pathways, including the induction of depression models in vivo and enzymatic assays in vitro.
