Description

HTR1B encodes the 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 1B, a G-protein-coupled receptor that inhibits adenylyl cyclase activity. It is expressed in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues, modulating neurotransmitter release, vasoconstriction, and behavior. Variants in HTR1B are associated with psychiatric disorders and migraine.

Protein Summary

The 5-HT1B receptor is a 390-amino acid integral membrane protein with seven transmembrane domains. It couples to Gi/Go proteins, inhibiting cAMP production. It functions as a presynaptic autoreceptor and heteroreceptor, regulating serotonin and other neurotransmitter release. The receptor is a target for triptan drugs used in migraine therapy.
