Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Methylserotonin
DescriptionN-Methylserotonin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as serotonins. Serotonins are compounds containing a serotonin moiety, which consists of an indole that bears an aminoethyl a position 2 and a hydroxyl group at position 5. N-Methylserotonin is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). N-Methylserotonin and S-adenosylhomocysteine can be biosynthesized from serotonin and S-adenosylmethionine through its interaction with the enzyme indolethylamine N-methyltransferase. In cattle, N-methylserotonin is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tryptophan metabolism pathway.
