α-MT Analysis Service

α-MT (α-Methyltryptophan) is a derivative of tryptophan with the chemical structure C₁₂H₁₄N₂O₂, consisting of an indole ring, a methyl group, and an amino acid group. It is primarily synthesized artificially and widely used in neuroscience and metabolism research. α-MT exhibits biological activities such as neuroregulation and signal transduction, influencing the metabolism of serotonin (5-HT) by inhibiting tryptophan hydroxylase. Its metabolites may include 5-hydroxy-alpha-methyltryptophan, which potentially plays a role in neurotransmitter balance and brain function regulation. Analyzing the content of α-MT and its metabolites in plant and biological samples helps to understand its role in neuroregulation and metabolic pathways, particularly in studies related to neurological diseases and mental health. This provides essential data for fundamental research and clinical applications in the biomedical field.
