General description

Cyanamide is an effective agent to treat alcoholism. Cyanamide in aqueous solution or in the form of its calcium salt is used as a fertilizer in agriculture. It is a potent inhibitor of liver aldehyde dehydrogenases in vivo.

Application

Cyanamide was used as nitrogen source in thermal transformation of metal oxide nanoparticles into nanocrystalline metal nitrides. It was used in the synthesis of mesoporous graphitic C3N4.

Serotonin Synthesis & Metabolism

Serotonin is stored in cells and metabolized by MAO, influencing CNS, GI, and platelet functions.

血清素合成及代谢

血清素（5-羟色胺）主要存在于三种主要细胞类型中：i）中杻神经系统（CNS）和肠肌间神经丛中的血清素能神经元，ii）胃肠道粘膜中的肠嗜铬细胞，和iii）血小板。血清素的代谢主要通过外部线粒体膜酶单胺氧化酶（MAO）进行，它以两种分子亚型存在，分别称为MAO-A和MAO-B。
