5HT7 Receptor Polyclonal Antibody, PE-Cy7 Conjugated

Serotonin (also designated 5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) is a molecule that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone and a mitogen, and it is predominantly expressed in the gut, platelets and central nervous system (CNS) . In the CNS, serotonin modulates several processes, including anxiety, sleep, appetite, behavior and drug abuse. In platelets and gut, serotonin plays a major role in cardiovascular function and motility of the gastrointestinal tract, respectively. Serotonin mediates its effects through several of G protein coupled receptors, designated 5-HT receptors or alternatively SR receptors. SR-3 is a ligand-gated ion channel, whereas all other known serotonin receptor subtypes are G protein-coupled receptors. SR-4 mediates widespread effects in central and peripheral nervous systems. SR-7 belongs to the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors. The gene which encodes SR-7 maps to human chromosome 10q21-q24.
