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+].

Name

Serotonin HCl

Measurement

0.011μM - EC50

Clinical Relevance

Therapeutic Area:

Cardiovascular

Adverse / Beneficial Action:

Agonists of the 5HT2B receptor stimulate heart valve cell growth leading to cardiac valvulopathy and primary pulmonary hypertension. Antagonists prevent primary pulmonary hypertension and have been shown to prevent agonist-induced heart hyperthrophy in rodents. Receptor antagonism may be useful for the treatment of migraine headache.
