The 5-HT 1B receptor as an example of a metabotropic serotonin receptor. Its crystallographic structure in ribbon representation. 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.
Serotonin (/ ˌ s ɛr ə ˈ t oʊ n ɪ n, ˌ s ɪər ə-/) [6] [7] [8] or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a monoamine neurotransmitter.Its biological function is complex, touching on diverse functions including mood, cognition, reward, learning, memory, and numerous physiological processes such as vomiting and vasoconstriction.

The 5-HT 1A receptor is the most widespread of all the 5-HT receptors. In the central nervous system, 5-HT 1A receptors exist in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, septum, amygdala, and raphe nucleus in high densities, while low amounts also exist in the basal ganglia and thalamus.
The 5-HT 2 receptors are a subfamily of 5-HT receptors that bind the endogenous neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). [1] The 5-HT 2 subfamily consists of three G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) which are coupled to G q /G 11 and mediate excitatory neurotransmission, [2] including 5-HT 2A, 5-HT 2B, and 5-HT 2C.
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 ...
Several drugs that act as 5-HT 4 selective agonists have recently been introduced into use in both scientific research and clinical medicine. Some drugs that act as 5-HT 4 agonists are also active as 5-HT 3 antagonists, such as mosapride, metoclopramide, renzapride, and zacopride, and so these compounds cannot be considered highly selective.
The 5-HT 1 subfamily consists of five G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that share 40% to 63% overall sequence homology, including 5-HT 1A, 5-HT 1B, 5-HT 1D, 5-HT 1E, and 5-HT 1F. [2] Receptors of the 5-HT 1 type, specifically, the 5-HT 1A and 5-HT 1D receptor subtypes, are present on the cell bodies. Receptors of the 5-HT1 type, specifically ...
