Abstract

A comparison of the 5-hydroxytryptophan decarboxylase activity in the liver, kidney and intestine of the rat and monkey has been made. The enzyme activity is almost uniform along the length of the monkey intestine. The activity present is equally distributed between jejunum and ileum with only a small fraction in the duodenum. The relative distribution of total enzyme activity in the organs of the rat and monkey is different. The lowest activity is found in the liver in the monkey and in the intestine in the rat.
