What is Serotonin?

A monoamine neurotransmitter is serotonin. It has a complicated and varied biological function that affects several physiological processes, including vomiting and vasoconstriction, as well as mood, cognition, reward, learning, and memory. The digestive tract creates 90% of the serotonin that the body makes.

According to biochemistry, the indoleamine molecule is created by the (rate-limiting) hydroxylation of the five positions on the ring (creating the intermediate 5-hydroxytryptophan), followed by decarboxylation to create serotonin. The enteric nervous system, which is part of the gastrointestinal tract, is where serotonin is first found (GI tract). The raphe nuclei in the brainstem, Merkel cells in the epidermis, pulmonary neuroendocrine cells, and taste receptor cells found in the tongue are all examples of locations in the central nervous system (CNS) where it is also generated.
