Index HTR3A

5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HTR3A gene. [1]

Gene

In biology, the word gene has two meanings.

See HTR3A and Gene

Ligand-gated ion channel

Ligand-gated ion channels (LICs, LGIC), also commonly referred to as ionotropic receptors, are a group of transmembrane ion-channel proteins which open to allow ions such as Na+, K+, Ca2+, and/or Cl− to pass through the membrane in response to the binding of a chemical messenger (i.e. a ligand), such as a neurotransmitter. HTR3A and ligand-gated ion channel are ion channels.

See HTR3A and Ligand-gated ion channel

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

See HTR3A and Protein

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. HTR3A and 5-HT3 receptor are ion channels and serotonin receptors.
