Beschreibung

Serotonin β-D-glucuronide (5-HIAA) is a major metabolite of serotonin that is excreted in the urine. It can be used as an indicator for the presence of serotonin in tissues and other substances. 5-HIAA is mainly formed by the hydrolysis of serotonin by β-glucosidase, which converts it to 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). This compound is also found in some foods, such as bananas and avocados. Serotonin β-D-glucuronide must undergo conjugation with glucuronic acid before it can be excreted from the body. The physiological effects of this compound are not well understood, but it may have a role in controlling blood sugar levels.
