Overview: 5-HT receptors [nomenclature as agreed by NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on 5-HT receptors (Hoyer et al., 1994) and subsequently revised (Hartig et al., 1996)] are, with the exception of the ionotropic 5-HT3 class, 7TM receptors, where the
endogenous agonist is 5-HT. The diversity of 5-HT receptors is increased by alternative splicing that produces isoforms of the 5-HT2A
(non-functional), 5-HT2C (non-functional), 5-HT4 and 5-HT7 receptors. RNA editing produces 5-HT2C receptor isoforms that differ in
function, such as efficiency and specificity of coupling to Gq/11. The 5-HT3 receptor [nomenclature as agreed by NC-IUPHAR
Subcommittee on 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptors (Hoyer et al., 1994)] is a transmitter-gated ion channel of the Cys-loop
family that includes the nicotinic acetylcholine, GABAA and strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors. The receptor exists as a
pentamer of 4TM subunits that form an intrinsic cation selective channel. 5-HT3 receptor subunits have been cloned, only homo-
oligomeric assemblies of 5-HT3A and hetero-oligomeric assemblies of 5-HT3A and 5-HT3B subunits have been characterised in detail. In
brackets: pEC50/pIC50/pKD values followed by Cat. Nos. (Radioligands: see BIOTREND Radiochemicals-Catalogue).
