• Background: Serotonin (also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) is a biochemical messenger and neurotransmitter synthesized from L-tryptophan. Serotonin has a range of functions, including regulation of gastric motility, and may be related to some psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia and depression.
  Serotonin is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous system, and also in some non-neural tissues such as platelets.
• Synonyms: 5-HT, 5HT, 5 hydroxytryptamine
