Activity summary

The TPH2 protein also known as Tryptophan Hydroxylase 2 acts as a catalyst in the rate-limiting step of serotonin biosynthesis. It resides mostly in the brain specifically within neurons of the central nervous system where it facilitates the conversion of tryptophan to 5-hydroxytryptophan. TPH2 has a molecular mass of approximately 55 kDa. TPH2 expression is mainly observed in the raphe nuclei a region involved in mood regulation and other neural functions.

Biological function summary

TPH2 is essential for serotonin production impacting mood cognition and neurodevelopment. It functions independently rather than as part of a complex. By controlling serotonin levels TPH2 influences many physiological processes including sleep cycles appetite and emotional status. Its activity is important for maintaining normal levels of serotonin in the synaptic cleft therefore contributing to overall neural communication.

Pathways

TPH2 is involved in the serotonin biosynthesis pathway where it regulates serotonin production. This pathway is vital for mood and emotional regulation. TPH2 also interacts with enzymes like AADC (Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase) which further converts 5-hydroxytryptophan into serotonin. These interactions ensure a balanced production of serotonin essential for proper neuronal signaling and stable mental states.

Associated diseases and disorders

TPH2 has connections with mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety disorders. Altered TPH2 function can lead to reduced serotonin levels contributing to the pathophysiology of these disorders. Studies show that TPH2 may interact with proteins like MAOA (Monoamine oxidase A) where mutations or dysregulation can exacerbate mood disorders. Understanding TPH2's role offers insights into therapeutic strategies targeting serotonin imbalances in mental health conditions.
