Competing Interests

I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: WZ and VMP are employees of Karos Pharmaceuticals which supplied the research with compound LX1032, which is a TPH1 specific inhibitor, and performed HPLC analyses. There are no patents, products in development or marketed products to declare. This does not alter the authors’ adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials, as detailed online in the guide for authors.
