Descriptor receptor de serotonina 5-HT2A
Entry term(s) receptor 2A de serotonina
Scope note: Subtipo de receptor de serotonina que se encuentra ampliamente distribuido en los tejidos periféricos, donde interviene en las respuestas contráctiles de diversos tejidos que contienen MÚSCULO LISO. Entre los antagonistas selectivos del receptor 5-HT2A se incluye la QUETANSERINA. El subtipo 5-HT2A también se encuentra en los GANGLIOS BASALES y el CORTEX CEREBRAL, donde media los efectos de los ALUCINÓGENOS como el LSD.

Scope note: A serotonin receptor subtype found widely distributed in peripheral tissues where it mediates the contractile responses of variety of tissues that contain SMOOTH MUSCLE. Selective 5-HT2A receptor antagonists include KETANSERIN. The 5-HT2A subtype is also located in BASAL GANGLIA and CEREBRAL CORTEX of the BRAIN where it mediates the effects of HALLUCINOGENS such as LSD.
