Metabolite: HMDB0014021 (N-Desmethylcitalopram)
Term: Citalopram Metabolism Pathway
Definition: it does so by competing for the same binding site as serotonin on the the sodium-dependent serotonin transporter (slc6a4). this increases the concentrations of serotonin in the synaptic cleft and reverses the state of low concentration seen in depression.
Parent Term: Biochemical pathway
Parent Definition: A linked series of chemical reactions that occur in a defined order within or between organism cells, and lead to a known function or end product.
