tryptophan

Introduction

Essential amino acid; precursor of serotonin. Ingestion of contaminated supplementary L-tryptophan was associated with epidemic of eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome in 1989.

More general terms

• aromatic amino acid
• essential amino acid

More specific terms

• 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP); 2-amino-3-(5-hydroxy)indolylpropionic acid

Additional terms

• eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS)
• tryptophan metabolism
• tryptophan residue (Trp, W)
