HTR7 - 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 7 (adenylate cyclase-coupled)
Entrez Gene Name: 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 7 (adenylate cyclase-coupled)
Entrez GeneID: Human(3363)
, Mouse(15566)
, Rat(65032)
Synonyms: 5-HT7, HTR7, MGC151363, Serotonin receptor 7
Gene Summary
- Human (3363): The neurotransmitter, serotonin, is thought to play a role in various cognitive and behavioral functions. The serotonin receptor encoded by this gene belongs to the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors and the gene is a candidate locus for involvement in autistic disorder and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Three splice variants have been identified which encode proteins that differ in the length of their carboxy terminal ends. [provided by RefSeq]
- Rat (65032): receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine; involved in modulatory action on cerebellar function [RGD]
