5-PT
Synonyms: 5-Propargyltryptamide
5-Propargyltryptamide (5-PT) is an alkyne-functionalized derivative of serotonin (5-HT), serving as a substrate for serotonylation in living cells. This reagent enables the conjugation of biotin, facilitating the identification of serotonylated proteins through copper-catalyzed click chemistry and mass spectrometry. 5-PT selectively labels and isolates serotonylated proteins in alveolar epithelial cells, making it a valuable tool for proteomic analysis in the study of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and related respiratory conditions.
