BRS1 - Neurotransmitter Regulation

Signal layer covering neurotransmitter synthesis, signalling, excitatory-inhibitory regulation, and the structural organisation supporting neuronal communication.

docs > substances > bioactive-compounds > choline-methylation

Choline

Essential methyl-donor nutrient in eggs, meat and milk; mapped to BRS2 one-carbon metabolism and BRS6 hepatic lipid export.

docs > substances > bioactive-compounds > endogenous-cofactors

Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4)

Endogenous redox-sensitive cofactor for aromatic-amino-acid hydroxylases and nitric-oxide synthases; not a dietary vitamin or food bioactive.

docs > substances > bioactive-compounds

Glutathione

Endogenous γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine tripeptide and GSH/GSSG redox resource pool; nutritionally relevant through precursor supply, synthesis and recycling rather than as a vitamin.

Uridine

Nucleoside that can supply CTP for CDP-choline. UMP and uridine-plus-DHA combinations are separate exposures.

docs > substances > nutrients > macronutrients > amino-acids > conditionals

Glutamate

Amino acid and the substrate of GAD and of the first step of glutathione assembly. Intracellular roles are not a requirement to eat glutamate.

docs > substances > nutrients > macronutrients > amino-acids > essential

Phenylalanine

Essential amino acid; precursor of tyrosine and β-phenylethylamine; LAT1 competitor among large neutral amino acids.

docs > substances > nutrients > micronutrients > minerals > macro

Copper

Essential cuproenzyme cofactor for catecholamine synthesis, iron efflux and redox defence; mapped to BRS1, BRS3, BRS5 and BRS6.

Zinc

Cofactor in neurotransmission and antioxidant enzymes; dopamine modulation
