Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiontph-1 encodes tryptophan hydroxylase, the enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting first step in serotonin biosynthesis; in vivo, tph-1 activity is required for serotonin biosynthesis, and well-fed animals mutant for tph-1 exhibit changes in behavioral and metabolic processes similar to those caused by starvation: slower rates of egg laying and pharyngeal pumping, dauer larval arrest, increased fat storage, and an extended reproductive lifespan; genetic studies indicate that, in regulating feeding and metabolism, tph-1 interacts with the daf-7/TGF-beta and daf-2/insulin-like signaling pathways; a TPH-1::GFP reporter is expressed in the serotonergic neurons: NSM, ADF, HSN (hermaphrodite-specific), CP (male-specific), and also rarely in the AIM and RIH neurons.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003903

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; locomotory exploration behavior; and positive regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Located in cytosol and neuron projection. Expressed in CP neuron; nerve ring; and pharynx. Used to study alcohol use disorder and cocaine abuse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; alcohol use disorder; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; and autistic disorder. Is an ortholog of human TPH1 (tryptophan hydroxylase 1) and TPH2 (tryptophan hydroxylase 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkSequence connection from [Sze JY, Ruvkun G]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
