              Commonly used serotonergic neuron markers

              Serotonergic neurons synthesize the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT), which is found in the gastrointestinal tract, blood platelets, and the central nervous system (CNS).

              Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH)

              An enzyme involved in serotonin synthesis. There are two isoforms of tryptophan hydroxylase, TPH1 and TPH2. TPH2 is the isoform predominantly found in the brain.​

              Mouse dorsal raphe coronal brain slices stained with anti-TPH2 (ab111828).

              Serotonin transporter (SERT)
              A transmembrane protein responsible for the re-uptake of 5-HT from the synaptic cleft into the presynaptic neuron.​

              Human cerebral cortex stained with anti-serotonin transporter (ab174770).

              Pet1
              A transcription factor that drives the transcription of genes essential for the metabolism as well as re-uptake of serotonin.

              Human fetal brain lysate stained using anti-pet1 (ab182111).
