Descriptor receptor de serotonina 5-HT2C
Entry term(s) receptor 2C de serotonina
Scope note: Subtipo de receptor de serotonina que se encuentra principalmente en el SISTEMA NERVIOSO CENTRAL y en los PLEXOS COROIDEOS. Este receptor se cree que interviene en la acción anoréxica de la SEROTONINA, en tanto que los antagonistas selectivos del receptor 5-HT2C inducen ANSIEDAD. Existen algunas isoformas de este receptor, debido a la adenina-desaminasa que genera el ARNm del receptor.

Scope note: A serotonin receptor subtype found primarily in the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM and the CHOROID PLEXUS. This receptor subtype is believed to mediate the anorectic action of SEROTONIN, while selective antagonists of the 5-HT2C receptor appear to induce ANXIETY. Several isoforms of this receptor subtype exist, due to adenine deaminase editing of the receptor mRNA.
