Tryptophan is an important precursor of auxin biosynthesis in plants. Its structure is similar to that of IAA, and it is ubiquitous in higher plants. It is also a precursor of 5-hydroxytryptamine, an important neurotransmitter in the human body. It can be used as a nutritional supplement for pregnant women and a special milk powder for young children, as well as for niacin deficiency (Pellagra). As a sedative, it can regulate mental rhythm and improve sleep, It is also one of the raw materials for compound amino acid infusion. | ||
