5-HT6 Human Serotonin GPCR Cell Based Agonist cAMP LeadHunter Assay - FR

Background Information:

Serotonin 5-HT receptors belong to the superfamily of G protein-coupled seven transmembrane proteins with the exception of the 5-HT3 subtype, which belongs to the ligand gated cation superfamily of receptors. G-protein-coupled receptors constitute one of the major signal transduction systems in eukaryotic cells. Coding sequences for these receptors, in those regions believed to contribute to the agonist-antagonist binding site, are strongly conserved across mammalian species. Serotonin 5-HT6 receptors are present in the central nervous system but not or minimally in peripheral tissues. The 5-HT6 receptor class couples preferentially to GS to promote cAMP formation.
