Synthesis of the serotonin derivative 5-PT and establishment of a research system for protein serotonylation by XIAO Shuyu, TULAMATI Aziguli, YANG Yan, ZHANG Zhigang, YANG Xiaomei, DU Chang, ZHANG Xueli

“…Objective·To establish a research framework for serotonylation of proteins and to provide a methodological basis for the identification of serotonylated proteins.Methods·The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases were used to analyze the expression of the transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) gene, which encodes the key enzyme for serotonylation, and the solute carrier family 6 (SLC6A4) gene, which encodes the serotonin transporter (SERT), in normal and pan-cancer tissues. 5-Propargyltryptamide (5-PT), a serotonin derivative, was synthesized stepwise from serotonin hydrochloride, and its structure was characterized by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR), and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS). …”
