BHQ-O-5HT is a light-activated caged form of serotonin (5-HT), utilizing a BHQ group for protection. Upon irradiation with light at wavelengths of either 365 or 740 nm, BHQ-O-5HT undergoes photolytic cleavage, releasing 5-HT via one or two-photon excitation. This reagent is valuable for time- and spatially-resolved studies, enabling researchers to investigate the multifaceted roles of 5-HT in mood regulation, appetite control, memory processes, learning, and other cognitive functions.
