1 12911638 A second gene encoding a functional tryptophan hydroxylase activity has recently been described (TPH2), which is expressed abundantly in brainstem, the primary site of serotonergic neurons in the CNS.
2 12911638 As serotonin (5-HT) has an important role as a precursor of the nocturnal synthesis of the pineal gland hormone, melatonin, it was of interest to determine the relative expression of TPH1 and 2 mRNA in the rat pineal during the light:dark (L:D) cycle using sensitive real-time RT-PCR assays which were developed for each TPH isoform.
3 12911638 TPH1 mRNA expression was 105-fold more abundant in rat pineal than TPH2, and showed a significant approximately 4-fold nocturnal increase in expression which may contribute to the previously described nocturnal increase in pineal tryptophan hydroxylase activity.
4 12911638 A second gene encoding a functional tryptophan hydroxylase activity has recently been described (TPH2), which is expressed abundantly in brainstem, the primary site of serotonergic neurons in the CNS.
