质量标准:【产品介绍】Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT),
a neurotransmitter, elicits a wide array of
physiological effects by binding to several
receptor subtypes, including the 5-HT2 family of
seven-transmembrane-spanning, G-protein-coupled
receptors, which activate phospholipase C and D
signaling pathways. HTR2C is the 2C subtype of
serotonin receptor and its mRNA is subject to multiple
RNA editing events, where genomically encoded
adenosine residues are converted to inosines. RNA editing
is predicted to alter amino acids within the
second intracellular loop of the 5-HT2C receptor
and generate receptor isoforms that differ in their
ability to interact with G proteins and the activation
of phospholipase C and D signaling cascades, thus
modulating serotonergic neurotransmission in the
central nervous system. Studies in humans have
reported abnormalities in patterns of HTR2C editing
in depressed suicide victims (1).
