N-Acetylserotonin (NAS) is the immediate precursor of melatonin (Item No. 14427). It is produced from serotonin by the enzyme aralkylamine N-acetyltransferase and is converted to melatonin by acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase.{23138} Like melatonin, NAS is considered to be a neurotransmitter and acts as an agonist at the melatonin receptors MT1, MT2, and MT3.{23139} NAS may also have unique central effects since it is distributed in specific brain areas separate from serotonin and melatonin.{23139}
