Serotonin is comprised of a monoamine chain attached to an indole ring at the third carbon. A monoamine chain is made up of an amine group attached to an ethane chain. This monoamine chain can be found in many neurotransmitters, including [[histamine|histamine]], [[dopamine|dopamine]], [[adrenaline|adrenaline]] and [[noradrenaline|noradrenaline]]. It's also found in many drugs, examples being [[tryptamines]] and [[phenethylamines]]. | Serotonin is comprised of a monoamine chain attached to an indole ring at the third carbon.
