Therapeutic Potential of 5-HT2C Receptor Ligands
The Scientific World Journal, 2010 Serotonin 2C receptors are G protein-coupled receptors expressed by GABAergic, glutamatergic, and dopaminergic neurons. Anatomically, they are present in various brain regions, including cortical areas, hippocampus, ventral midbrain, striatum, nucleus ...

Classification of Serotonin Receptors
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1987 The subdivision of serotonin (5-HT) receptors into three classes, designated 5-HT1, 5-HT2, and 5-HT3, has been based on radioligand binding studies and experiments in isolated tissues. As a result of radioligand binding studies, two types of 5-HT recognition sites have been postulated. One site specifically labeled by [3H]5-HT was termed 5-HT1, and the

Serotonin Type 4 Receptor Dimers [PDF]
, 2013 Numerous class A G protein-coupled receptors and especially biogenic amine receptors have been reported to form homodimers. Indeed, the dimerization process might occur for all the metabotropic serotonergic receptors. Moreover, dimerization appears to be essential for the function of serotonin type 2C (5-HT2C) and type 4 (5-HT4) receptors and required ...
