Abstract
A gene encoding a novel G protein-coupled 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor, termed 5-HT5B, was cloned. The ligand binding profile of this receptor is distinct from that of other cloned 5-HT receptors. The 5-HT5B receptor couples to a G protein in COS1 cell membranes; however, activation of the 5-HT5B receptor does not appear to alter either cAMP accumulation or phosphoinositide turnover in a variety of fibroblast cell lines. In the rat brain, 5-HT5B gene expression occurs predominantly in the medial habenulae and hippocampal CA1 cells of the adult. Little expression is seen during embryonic development.Keywords
