5-HT1 receptor

Last updated

The 5-HT1 receptors are a subfamily of the 5-HT serotonin receptors that bind to the endogenous neurotransmitter serotonin (also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT). [1] 5-HT1 is not a standalone receptor. The 5-HT1 subfamily consists of five G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that share 40% to 63% overall sequence homology, including 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, 5-HT1E, and 5-HT1F. [2] Receptors of the 5-HT1 type, specifically, the 5-HT1A and 5-HT1D receptor subtypes, are present on the cell bodies. Receptors of the 5-HT1 type, specifically, the 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptor subtypes, are also present on the nerve terminals. These receptors are broadly distributed throughout the brain and are recognized to play a significant part in regulating synaptic levels of 5-HT. [3]

The receptor subfamily is coupled to Gi/Go and mediates inhibitory neurotransmission by inhibiting the function of adenylate cyclase and modulating downstream ionic effects. [4] This R-coupling to Gi/Go proteins leads to a reduction in local concentrations of cAMP, proving that 5-HT1 receptors are primarily inhibitory. [5] There is no 5-HT1C receptor, as it was reclassified as the 5-HT2C receptor. [6]

5-HT1 is one of seven families that make up the complete subtypes of 5-HT serotonin receptors. It is represented by the number 1, and the five subtypes are represented by letters (e.g., a, b, c, d). [7] Unlike other 5-HT subtype receptors, several 5-HT1 subtypes play a role in pain relief from migraine headaches. The interaction between Serotonin agonists, like Triptans, and these subtypes helps relieve migraine pain [8] There has been and continues to be extensive research on 5-HT1 and anti-migraine drugs.
