MeSH Heading: Serotonin
Tree Number(s): D02.092.211.215.801.852; D03.633.100.473.914.814; D23.469.050.650
Unique ID: D012701
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D012701
Annotation: /antag = SEROTONIN ANTAGONISTS but consider also SELECTIVE SEROTONIN REUPTAKE INHIBITORS
Scope Note: A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator.
