Serotonin is primarily produced in the enterochromaffin cells of the gastrointestinal tract, rather than in a traditional endocrine gland. While it is often associated with the brain and mood regulation, its main production site is in the gut. A smaller amount of serotonin is also synthesized in the central nervous system, particularly in the brainstem.
