which can go on to be excreted in the urine as indole acetate.

Now, tryptophan, also reacting with an aromatic alumino acid decarboxylase, which of course is going to be pyridoxal phosphate requiring as well as a quinol intermediate, will generate tryptamine, Tryptamine will then be oxidized with an FAD Cu2 plus enzyme generating ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, that's a monooxidase, to ultimately indolacetate, valdehyde oxidase will generate indolacetate, and then finally that goes in the urine.

Now, Tryptophan will also generate via tetrahydrobiopterin, the enzyme tryptophan, ferrous, 5-monooxygenase, generating dihydroteran and water, 5-hydroxytryptophan, the enzyme, again, aromatic alumino acid decarboxylase, pyridoxal phosphate requiring enzyme, will generate serotonin, We've all heard serotonin neurotransmitter.

Now, serotonin has basically two fates.
