Also Known as NTPH; ADHD7
Species: Homo sapiens
About TPH2
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 199 orthologues, 3 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Low expression observed in reference dataset.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the pterin-dependent aromatic acid hydroxylase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the first and rate limiting step in the biosynthesis of serotonin, an important hormone and neurotransmitter. Mutations in this gene may be associated with psychiatric diseases such as bipolar affective disorder and major depression. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
