Serotonin receptors

Endogeny (biology)

Endogenous substances and processes are those that originate from within a living system such as an organism, tissue, or cell.

See 5-HT2 receptor and Endogeny (biology)

Excitatory postsynaptic potential

In neuroscience, an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) is a postsynaptic potential that makes the postsynaptic neuron more likely to fire an action potential.

See 5-HT2 receptor and Excitatory postsynaptic potential

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as seven-(pass)-transmembrane domain receptors, 7TM receptors, heptahelical receptors, serpentine receptors, and G protein-linked receptors (GPLR), form a large group of evolutionarily related proteins that are cell surface receptors that detect molecules outside the cell and activate cellular responses.

See 5-HT2 receptor and G protein-coupled receptor

Gq alpha subunit

Gq protein alpha subunit is a family of heterotrimeric G protein alpha subunits.

See 5-HT2 receptor and Gq alpha subunit

Neurotransmission

Neurotransmission (Latin: transmissio "passage, crossing" from transmittere "send, let through") is the process by which signaling molecules called neurotransmitters are released by the axon terminal of a neuron (the presynaptic neuron), and bind to and react with the receptors on the dendrites of another neuron (the postsynaptic neuron) a short distance away.

See 5-HT2 receptor and Neurotransmission

Neurotransmitter

A neurotransmitter is a signaling molecule secreted by a neuron to affect another cell across a synapse.

See 5-HT2 receptor and Neurotransmitter

Serotonin

Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a monoamine neurotransmitter.

See 5-HT2 receptor and Serotonin

5-HT receptor

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. 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT receptor are serotonin receptors.

See 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT receptor

5-HT1 receptor

The 5-HT1 receptors are a subfamily of the 5-HT serotonin receptors that bind to the endogenous neurotransmitter serotonin (also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT). 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT1 receptor are serotonin receptors.

See 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT1 receptor

5-HT2A receptor

The 5-HT2A receptor is a subtype of the 5-HT2 receptor that belongs to the serotonin receptor family and is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT2A receptor are serotonin receptors.

See 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT2A receptor

5-HT2B receptor

5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B (5-HT2B) also known as serotonin receptor 2B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HTR2B gene. 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT2B receptor are serotonin receptors.

See 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT2B receptor

5-HT2C receptor

The 5-HT2C receptor is a subtype of the 5-HT2 receptor that binds the endogenous neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT2C receptor are serotonin receptors.

See 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT2C receptor

5-HT3 receptor

The 5-HT3 receptor belongs to the Cys-loop superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) and therefore differs structurally and functionally from all other 5-HT receptors (5-hydroxytryptamine, or serotonin receptors) which are G protein-coupled receptors. 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT3 receptor are serotonin receptors.

See 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT3 receptor

5-HT4 receptor

5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HTR4 gene. 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT4 receptor are serotonin receptors.

See 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT4 receptor

5-HT5A receptor

5-Hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 5A, also known as HTR5A, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HTR5A gene. 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT5A receptor are serotonin receptors.

See 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT5A receptor

5-HT6 receptor

The 5HT6 receptor is a subtype of 5HT receptor that binds the endogenous neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5HT). 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT6 receptor are serotonin receptors.

See 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT6 receptor

5-HT7 receptor

The 5-HT7 receptor is a member of the GPCR superfamily of cell surface receptors and is activated by the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). 5-HT2 receptor and 5-HT7 receptor are serotonin receptors.
