DMT synthesis gene credibility check DMT synthesis gene credibility check Saved 2026-04-11 — original chat You Can we get a credible source for this? "we do know that the gene involved in DMT synthesis is present in many organs, particularly lung." Rick Strassman, M.D. Quoted here: DMT and the Pineal: Fact or Fiction? Jon Hanna. 2010-06-03, 2017-12-14. https://erowid.org/chemicals/dmt/dmt_article2.shtml Claude Yes — Strassman's claim is well-supported by peer-reviewed literature. The key gene/enzyme is INMT (indolethylamine-N-methyltransferase), which catalyzes DMT synthesis. Here are credible sources: Strongest sources: Thompson et al. (1999) — the original molecular biology paper cloning human INMT and mapping its tissue distribution via Northern blot. INMT is widely expressed in the body, primarily in peripheral tissues such as the lungs, thyroid, and adrenal gland. [ 1 ] This is the foundational citation for Strassman's claim. ...
