Description

Biocytin is a naturally occurring biogenic amine. It is one of the major metabolic products of tryptophan, and can be found in many tissues and body fluids. Biocytin is an important intermediate in the synthesis of catecholamines from tyrosine, as well as in the synthesis of dopamine from l-DOPA. It is also a precursor to other biologically active molecules such as serotonin and melatonin. Biocytin has been shown to have a role in axonal growth, and may play a role in various neurological disorders such as metabolic disorders or hippocampal formation. Biocytin can also be used for analytical purposes due to its ability to bind proteins.
