Biological Information
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-HT2 receptors are widely distributed in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. The 5-HT2 receptor class couples preferentially to Gq/G11 to increase hydrolysis of inositol phosphates and elevate cytosolic [Ca2+].

Testing Information
Procedure Summary:
Human recombinant serotonin 5-HT₂ᴀ receptors expressed in CHO-K1 cells are used in modified Tris-HCl buffer pH 7.4. A 30 µg‡ aliquot is incubated with 1 nM [³H]Ketanserin for 60 minutes at 25°C. Non-specific binding is estimated in the presence of 1 µM Mianserin. Receptors are filtered and washed, the filters are then counted to determine [³H]Ketanserin specifically bound. Compounds are screened at 10 µM.
Ligand:

Clinical Relevance
Therapeutic Area:
CNS/Addiction/Pain
Adverse / Beneficial Action:
Serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonism may be hallucinogenic, facilitate vasoconstriction and gastrointestinal transit. Receptor antagonism may prevent peripheral vascular thrombosis, reduce psychosis and extrapyramidal side effects of antipsychotic agents.
