Description

Indolamines are a family of neurotransmitters that share a common molecular structure (namely, indolamine). A common example of an indolamine is serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter involved in mood and sleep. Another example of an indolamine is melatonin, which regulates the sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm) in humans.

In biochemistry, indoleamines are substituted indole compounds that contain an amino group. Examples of indoleamines are the tryptamines, such as 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin, 5-HT) and the lysergamides.

Also, histamines are a part of the indolamine family. Histamines are synthesized by the amino acid histidine. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License. See http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ for details. Source: Wikipedia, Wikipedia
