:N-acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine
Description:
N-acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine, commonly known as melatonin, is a naturally occurring indoleamine that plays a crucial role in regulating circadian rhythms and sleep-wake cycles in various organisms. It is synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan and is primarily produced in the pineal gland of the brain. This compound is characterized by its ability to act as an antioxidant and its involvement in the modulation of various physiological processes, including sleep induction, immune response, and seasonal reproductive functions. Melatonin exhibits lipophilic properties, allowing it to cross cell membranes easily, and it binds to specific melatonin receptors in the body, influencing various signaling pathways. Its production is influenced by light exposure, with levels typically rising in the evening and falling in the morning, thus aligning with the natural light-dark cycle. Melatonin is also available as a dietary supplement, often used to alleviate sleep disorders and jet lag, although its efficacy and safety for long-term use are subjects of ongoing research.

CAS:<p>N-Acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine is a compound that can be synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan and has been shown to have hypoglycemic effects. It is also found in pineal gland and other organs, where it binds to DNA and alters gene expression. N-Acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine has been shown to bind to response elements in the promoter region of protein genes, which may lead to a significant upregulation of these genes. This compound also has chemiluminescent properties, which can be measured using a cdna clone.</p>Formula:C12H14N2O2Purity:Min. 98 Area-%Color and Shape:PowderMolecular weight:218.25 g/molAcetyl-5-hydroxy-tryptamine
