5-HT2A, a G-protein coupled receptor, is widely expressed in the human body, including in the gastrointestinal tract, platelets and the nervous system. It mediates various functions, for e.g. learning, memory, mood regulation, platelet aggregation and va

these receptors into areas receiving serotonergic innervation decreases the synthesis and release of 5-HT measured in vitro or in situ, using the technique of microdialysis. However, in contrast to the activation of somatodendritic autoreceptors, such effects are not due to decreases in the firing r...
5-HT2A receptor location5-HT2A receptors are expressed in many tissues and organs throughout the body including the brain, gut, and cardiovascular system (CVS). The earliest studies exploring 5-HT2A localization used radioactive ligand binding experiments in rats.1 However, these could not ...

Function : This is one of the several different receptors for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone, and a mitogen. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins that inhibit adenylate cyclase activity.Subcellular Location : ...
messages—and serotonin can act as both! Depending on where in the body it's released, the serotonin molecule attaches to different serotonin receptors (in the brain, gut, or other organs outside the nervous system) to send its message. The result? You feel emotionally balanced, have healthy...
In humans the gene is found on chromosome 17 on location 17q11.1–q12.[10] Mutations associated with the gene may result in changes in serotonin transporter function, and experiments with mice have identified more the 50 different phenotypic changes as a result of genetic variation. These ...
