Gene Information

General description

N-Acetyltryptamine is a melatonin analog present in mammalian blood. It is derived from tryptophan.

Application

N-Acetyltryptamine has been used as an internal standard in liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). It has also been used as an internal standard in melatonin concentration assay and tandem mass spectrometry for the quantification of plasma melatonin levels.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mixed agonist-antagonist at melatonin receptors; antioxidant.
