Anti-HTR1A (G-21, Serotonin receptor 1A)

HTR1A (5-HYDROXYTRYPTAMINE RECEPTOR 1A?,also called SEROTONIN 5-HT-1A RECEPTOR or BETA-2-ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR-LIKE PROTEIN G-21, is a subtype of 5-HT receptor that binds the endogenous neurotransmitter serotonin. It is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that is coupled to Gi/Go and mediates inhibitory neurotransmission. HTR1A denotes the human gene encoding for the receptor.The HTR1A gene is located at 5q12.3. The decreases in 5-HT-1A receptor densities correlated with decreased glucose utilization as measured by PET scan. Activation of 5-HT-1A receptors has been demonstrated to impair cognition, learning, and memory by inhibiting the release of glutamate and acetylcholine in various areas of the brain. 5-HT-1A receptors in the dorsal raphe nucleus are colocalized with neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors and have been shown to inhibit the release of substance P, their endogenous ligand.
