Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Acetylserotonin
DescriptionN-Acetylserotonin, also known as 5-hydroxymelatonin or ASE, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxyindoles. These are organic compounds containing an indole moiety that carries a hydroxyl group. N-Acetylserotonin is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). N-Acetylserotonin exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. N-Acetylserotonin participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, N-Acetylserotonin can be biosynthesized from serotonin and acetyl-CoA; which is mediated by the enzyme serotonin N-acetyltransferase. In addition, N-Acetylserotonin and S-adenosylmethionine can be converted into melatonin and S-adenosylhomocysteine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase. In cattle, N-acetylserotonin is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tryptophan metabolism pathway.
