 5-HT receptor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the field of neurochemistry, 5-HT receptors are receptors for the neurotransmitter and peripheral signal mediator serotonin, also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT.
5-HT receptors are located on the cell membrane of nerve cells and other cell types in animals and mediate the effects of serotonin as the endogenous ligand and of a broad range of pharmaceutical and hallucinogenic drugs.
With the exception of the 5-HT receptor, a ligand gated ion channel, all other 5-HT receptors are G protein coupled seven transmembrane (or heptahelical) receptors that activate an intracellular second messenger cascade.

 Serotonin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pharmacology of 5-HT is extremely complex, with its actions being mediated by a large and diverse range of 5-HT receptors.
From here it is free to diffuse over a relatively large region of space (>20µm) and activate 5-HT receptors located on the dendrites, cell bodies and presynaptic terminals of adjacent neurons.
As with all neurotransmitters, the actual effects of 5-HT on the human mood and state of mind, and its role in consciousness, are very difficult to ascertain.

 Effects of ECS on 5-HT-1A Receptor Sensitivity in Hypothalamus: In Vivo Studies
Since activation of these receptors reduces firing of serotonergic neurons and 5-HT release, reduction in their sensitivity would be associated with increased 5-HT release and, hence, an increase in serotonergic transmission in the hypothalamus.
We conclude that in contrast to the effects of ECS on 5-HT-1A receptor in the hippocampus in animals, ECT in humans does not induce an increase in sensitivity of post-synaptic 5-HT-1A receptors in the hypothalamus.
We have used in vivo microdialysis to measure 5-HT levels and 5-HT-1A receptor function in the rat hypothalamus, and neuroendocrine challenge tests to determine the effects of administration of a 5-HT-1A receptor agonist on activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in depressed patients and control subjects.

 Serotonin Receptor Subtypes and Ligands
5-HT is an indolealkylamine that binds to all populations of 5-HT receptors.
Evidence was subsequently provided suggesting that 5-HT receptors exist in a high-affinity state and a low-affinity state; under normal conditions, this equilibrium is heavily in favor of the low-affinity state, and the tritiated antagonist ketanserin binds at both states with comparable affinity.
5-HT receptors might be involved in mood and learning, as well as in neuroendocrine and vegetative behaviors.

Small quantities of the 5-HT receptor have been purified from cell lines by various groups(15, 16, 17), and their analyses of the purified protein seem to indicate that the native receptor is a hetero-oligomer.
The receptor was eluted from the resin using 10 bed volumes of the medium salt buffer containing 0.6% CHAPS and 0.1 mM quipazine.
The overall yield of purified receptor was 100-200 µg of protein from 3 liters of infected Sf9 cells.

 SUB Göttingen - Dissertationen - Papoucheva, Ekaterina: Die Funktionelle Rolle der Palmitilierung des 5-HT 1A Rezeptor
In the present study, we verified that the mouse 5-hydroxytryptamine(1A) (5-HT(1A)) receptor is modified by palmitic acid, which is covalently attached to the protein through a thioester-type bond.
Block of protein synthesis by cycloheximide resulted in a significant reduction of receptor acylation, suggesting that palmitoylation occurs early after synthesis of the 5-HT(1A) receptor.
To address the functional role of 5-HT(1A) receptor acylation, we have analyzed the ability of acylation-deficient mutants to interact with heterotrimeric G(i) protein and to modulate downstream effectors.

Perhaps mutations of the 5-HT receptor or subreceptor structures will be found to play a role in a variety of psychiatric disorders (3).

 Abstract: Brain 5-HT(1A) receptor binding in chronic fatigue syndrome measured using positron emission tomography and [(11)C]WAY-100635
RESULTS: There was a widespread reduction in 5-HT(1A) receptor binding potential in CFS relative to control subjects.
BACKGROUND: Research from neuroendocrine challenge and other indirect studies has suggested increased central 5-HT function in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and increased 5-HT(1A) receptor sensitivity.
This may be a primary feature of CFS, related to the underlying pathophysiology, or a finding secondary to other processes, such as previous depression, other biological changes or the behavioral consequences of CFS.

 Serotonin Receptor Subtypes and Ligands
Although 5-HT receptors represent ion channel receptors, whereas 5-HT receptors represent G-protein coupled receptors, much of the early work in 5-HT research was facilitated by 5-HT ligands; that is, a number of 5-HT ligands were shown to be active at 5-HT receptors.
With the subsequent discovery of 5-HT receptors and the finding that many 5-HT ligands bind nearly equally well at both types of receptors, came the realization that some of the roles attributed to 5-HT receptors may in fact be mediated by 5-HT receptors.
For example, human 5-HT receptors exhibit only 50—55% TM homology with 5-HT receptors, and yet one of the early problems in identifying 5-HT -selective agents was their high affinity for 5-HT receptors.

The use of two or more serotonin 5-HT receptor agonists concurrently is not justified as their vasospastic effects may be additive.

 Alpha2-adrenergic receptor blockade
These data demonstrate that alpha2-adrenergic receptors tonically inhibit NAD and DA and phasically inhibit 5-HT release in the FCX and that blockade of alpha2-adrenergic receptors strikingly potentiates the increase in FCX levels of 5-HT, NAD, and DA elicited by reuptake inhibitors.
The selective alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist S 18616 (0.16 mg/kg, s.c.) suppressed extracellular levels of NAD, DA, and 5-HT (by 100, 51, and 63%, respectively) in single dialysates of FCX of freely moving rats.
In contrast, the selective alpha2-adrenergic receptor antagonists atipamezole (0.16 mg/kg, s.c.) and 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)piperazine (1-PP; 2.5 mg/kg, s.c.) increased levels of NAD (by 180 and 185%, respectively) and DA (by 130 and 90%, respectively), without affecting 5-HT levels.

Furthermore, the role of 5-HT receptors in modulating activity in the myenteric plexus suggests that 5-HT receptor antagonists might be useful for treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (Greenshaw and Silverstone, 1997; Farthing, 1999).
