B6 vitamin

What are the two enzymes along with vitamin B6 that participate in the synthesis of tryptophan into serotonin?

I believe one of them is 5HT-Decarboxylase but I am unsure of the second enzyme.

1. tryptophan hydroxylase
2. 5-hydroxytryptophan decarboxylase
Tryptophan becomes 5-hydroxytryptophan under the influence of tryptophan hydroxylase.
Then 5-hydroxytryptophan is decarboxylated by 5-hydroxytryptophan decarboxylase to serotonin
