Serotonin is a monoamine neurotransmitter in the CNS and an endogenous 5-HT receptor agonist. Serotonin is also a catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor with a Ki of 44 μM.
体外研究
Serotonin is a monoamine neurotransmitter in the CNS and an endogenous 5-HT receptor agonist. Serotonin also inhibits catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT), an enzyme that contributes to modultion the perception of pain, via non-competitive binding to the site bound by catechol substrates with a binding affinity comparable to the binding affinity of catechol itself (Ki= 44 μM). Results show that addition of 100 μM of Serotonin decreases the reaction velocity of COMT.
体内研究
Serotonin produces robust hypersensitivity compare to saline-treated controls (p<0.001). A significant increase in colonic 5-HT content is observed in IL-13 mice receiving Serotonin compare to IL-13 receiving vehicle following induction of DSS colitis.
