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.
The exception to this is the 5-HT 3 receptor which is a ligand-gated ion channel. In 2014, a novel 5-HT receptor was isolated from the small white butterfly, Pieris rapae, and named pr5-HT 8. It does not occur in mammals and shares relatively low similarity to the known 5-HT receptor classes. [7]
Pituitary gland tumors are very common in the canine. A productive form arising from the anterior pituitary is the primary cause of Cushing's disease of dogs. This tumor causes excessive production of cortisol from the adrenal cortex which leads to the classic signs of alopecia (hair loss), polyuria (excessive urination), polydipsia (excessive water drinking), and a pot-bellied appearance of ...
Dogs can develop many of the same types of cancer as humans. Many canine cancers are described with the same terminology and use the same classification systems as human cancers. [1] Mast cell tumors are the most common type of skin cancer in canines. [1] Lymphoma; Prostate cancer; Brain cancer; Hemangiosarcoma is a type of cancer that is ...
Serotonin (/ ˌ s ɛr ə ˈ t oʊ n ɪ n, ˌ s ɪər ə-/) [6] [7] [8] or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a monoamine neurotransmitter.Its biological function is complex, touching on diverse functions including mood, cognition, reward, learning, memory, and numerous physiological processes such as vomiting and vasoconstriction.
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 .
This is a list of miscellaneous agonists of the serotonin receptor subtype 5-HT 2A (and other 5-HT 2 subtypes to a varying extent) that fall outside the common structural classes.
