The relationship between the genetically defined intensity of intermale aggression and the activity of brain tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) has been studied in inbred mice. No association between the enzyme activity and the percentage of aggressive mice (reflecting the predisposition to aggressive rea
## Abstract Tryptophan hydroxylaseβ2 (TPH2) is the rateβlimiting enzyme of brain serotonin synthesis. The C1473G polymorphism in the mouse tryptophan hydroxylaseβ2 gene affects the enzyme's activity. In the present study, we investigated the linkage between the C1473G polymorphism, enzyme activity
