Primary Drug Target
Name | 5-HT-3 Receptor | Gene Name | HTR3A | Synonyms | 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor precursor; 5-HT-3; Serotonin-gated ion channel receptor; 5-HT3R | Specific Function | This is one of the several different receptors for 5- hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone, and a mitogen. This receptor is a ligand-gated ion channel, which when activated causes fast, depolarizing responses in neurons. It is a cation-specific, but otherwise relatively nonselective, ion channel |
