5-HT1 receptor
- The correct title of this article is 5-HT1 receptor. It appears incorrectly here because of technical restrictions.
In the field of neurochemistry, 5-HT1 receptors are a subfamily of 5-HT receptors which bind the neurotransmitter and peripheral signal mediator serotonin, also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT).[1]

Mode of action
5-HT1 receptors are G protein coupled receptors that Gi/Go-coupled. This causes a cellular decrease of cAMP.
Subtypes
Although working basically through the same mechanism, there are several 5-HT1 receptor subtypes (denoted A-F), each encoded by a separate gene. Furthermore each subtype has a somewhat different tissue distribution and binding preference for synthetic 5-HT1 agonist and antagonist ligands.
5-HT1A
| Gene | Agonists | Antagonists |
|---|---|---|
| HTR1A |
|
5-HT1A acts on the CNS, where it induces neuronal inhibition and controls behaviour, such as sleep, feeding, thermoregulation, aggression, anxiety.
5-HT1B
| Gene | Agonists | Antagonists |
|---|---|---|
| HTR1B |
|
5-HT1B acts on the CNS, where it induces presynaptic inhibition and behavioural effects. It also has vascular effects, such as pulmonary vasoconstriction.
5-HT1D
| Gene | Agonists | Antagonists |
|---|---|---|
| HTR1D |
|
5-HT1D acts on the CNS, and affects locomotion and anxiety. It also induces vascular vasoconstriction in the brain. Ergotamine works primarily through the 5-HT1B receptor, since the effect through the 5-HT1D receptor is contrary to the mode of action of ergotamine, i.e. vasoconstriction.
5-HT1E
| Gene | Agonists | Antagonists |
|---|---|---|
| HTR1E |
5-HT1F
| Gene | Agonists | Antagonists |
|---|---|---|
| HTR1F |
