Tryptamine (CAS 61-54-1) is a biogenic amine that may operate as a neuromodulator to control mood, hunger, and sleep.
Tryptamine CAS 61-54-1 has been demonstrated to modulate the activity of dopaminergic, serotonergic, and glutamatergic systems as well as activate trace amine-associated receptors expressed in the mammalian brain.
Food tryptophan is converted by symbiotic bacteria in the human stomach to tryptamine, which stimulates 5-HT4 receptors and controls gastrointestinal motility.
