Drugbank entries Show/Hide entries for
Comment Melatonin concentration in blood and urine (reflecting serotonin levels in brain) of individuals with PKU are low, due high blood Phe concentration. High level of phenylalanine leads to competitive inhibition of Trp transport via SLC7A5 (LAT1) and inhibition of Trp hydroxylase. (cited information)
