The 5-HT 2A receptor is a subtype of the 5-HT 2 receptor that belongs to the serotonin receptor family and is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). [4] The 5-HT 2A receptor is a cell surface receptor, [5] but has several intracellular locations. [6] Like all 5-HT 2 receptors, the 5-HT 2A receptor is G q /G 11-protein coupled.
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. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] They mediate both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission .
The 5-HT 2 receptors are a subfamily of 5-HT receptors that bind the endogenous neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). [1] The 5-HT 2 subfamily consists of three G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) which are coupled to G q /G 11 and mediate excitatory neurotransmission , [ 2 ] including 5-HT 2A , 5-HT 2B , and 5-HT 2C .
The 5-HT 5B receptor is present in rodents but not in humans. In addition to the serotonin receptors, serotonin is an agonist of the trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) in some species. [43] [44] It is a weak TAAR1 partial agonist in rats, but is inactive at the TAAR1 in mice and humans. [43] [44]

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (mGluR2) is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the GRM2 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] mGluR2 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that couples with the Gi alpha subunit . [ 7 ]
Like all 5-HT2 receptors, it is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that is coupled to G q /G 11 and mediates excitatory neurotransmission. HTR2C denotes the human gene encoding for the receptor, [4] [5] that in humans is located on the X chromosome. As males have one copy of the gene and females have one of the two copies of the gene repressed ...
