TPH1 gene from Homo sapiens codon-optimized for E. coli

The TPH1 gene in humans uses L-tryptophan to produce 5-HTP, the biochemical precursor to serotonin. Serotonin reduces the effects of depression and anxiety. Increased expression levels of TPH1 can alleviate or eliminate depressive symptoms, but a negative feedback loop is recommended to prevent over-expression.
