HTR3C - 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 3, family member C
Entrez Gene Name: 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 3, family member C
Entrez GeneID: Human(170572)
Synonyms: HTR3C

Gene Summary

  • Human (170572): 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]
