Background
The product of this gene belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel receptor superfamily. This gene encodes subunit C of the type 3 receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone, and a mitogen. This receptor causes fast, depolarizing responses in neurons after activation. Genes encoding subunits C, D and E form a cluster on chromosome 3. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
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. It is a cation-specific, but otherwise relatively nonselective, ion channel.,similarity:Belongs to the ligand-gated ionic channel (TC 1.A.9) family.,subcellular location:Presumably retained within the endoplasmic reticulum unless complexed with HTR3A.,subunit:Forms a pentaheteromeric complex with HTR3A, homomeric complex being not functional.,tissue specificity:Expressed in many tissues including adult brain, colon, intestine, lung, muscle and stomach as well as fetal colon and kidney.,
