5-HT receptors, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors, or serotonin receptors, are a group of G protein-coupled receptor and ligand-gated ion channels found in the central and peripheral nervous systems. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] They mediate both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission .
The serotonin 1A receptor (or 5-HT 1A receptor) is a subtype of serotonin receptors, or 5-HT receptors, that binds serotonin, also known as 5-HT, a neurotransmitter. 5-HT1A is expressed in the brain, spleen, and neonatal kidney.
The neurotransmitter serotonin (illustration) has various receptors. A serotonin receptor agonist is an agonist of one or more serotonin receptors. They activate serotonin receptors in a manner similar to that of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT), a neurotransmitter and hormone and the endogenous ligand of the serotonin receptors.
This is the main excitatory receptor subtype among the GPCRs for serotonin, although 5-HT 2A may also have an inhibitory effect [7] on certain areas such as the visual cortex and the orbitofrontal cortex. [8] This receptor was first noted for its importance as a target of serotonergic psychedelic drugs such as LSD and psilocybin mushrooms.
The hallucinogenic effects of serotonergic psychedelics appear to be mediated by activation of serotonin 5-HT 2A receptors expressed in a population of cortical neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). [133] [132] These serotonin 5-HT 2A receptors, unlike most serotonin and related receptors, are expressed intracellularly.
5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B (5-HT 2B) also known as serotonin receptor 2B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HTR2B gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] 5-HT 2B is a member of the 5-HT 2 receptor family that binds the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT).
The 5-HT 7 receptor is a member of the GPCR superfamily of cell surface receptors and is activated by the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). [5] The 5-HT 7 receptor is coupled to G s (stimulates the production of the intracellular signaling molecule cAMP) [6] [7] and is expressed in a variety of human tissues, particularly in the brain, the gastrointestinal tract, and in ...
