Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * ASMT is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 150 kDa. * It is found in a variety of tissues, including the enterocyte of the epithelium of large intestine, colon goblet cell, granulocyte monocyte progenitor cell, intestinal crypt stem cell of small intestine, ON-bipolar cell, transit amplifying cell of small intestine, goblet cell, enterocyte of epithelium of small intestine, transit amplifying cell of colon, and early T lineage precursor. * ASMT is a highly conserved protein, with a similar sequence found in organisms from yeast to humans. * It is an enzyme that is involved in the regulation of serotonin and melatonin levels in the body. **Pathways and functions:** * ASMT is involved in the biosynthesis of serotonin and melatonin. * Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is involved in a variety of physiological processes, including mood, appetite, and sleep. * Melatonin is a hormone that is involved in the regulation of the circadian clock. * ASMT activity is regulated by a number of factors, including the levels of serotonin and melatonin in the body. * Inhibition of ASMT activity can lead to a decrease in serotonin and melatonin levels, which can have a number of negative effects on the body. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the ASMT gene have been linked to a number of human diseases, including autism, schizophrenia, and depression. * ASMT inhibitors are being investigated as a potential treatment for these disorders. * ASMT is a promising target for the treatment of depression and other psychiatric disorders.
