5HT3 receptors quantified in brain of serotonin-transporter-deficient mice
Published in Pain and Central Nervous System Week, March 8th, 2004
"Mice deficient in the serotonin transporter (5HTT) display highly elevated extracellular 5HT levels. 5HT exerts its effects via at least fourteen different cloned 5HT receptors located pre- and postsynaptically. In contrast to the other 5HT receptors, the 5HT3 receptor is a ionotropic receptor with ligand-gated cation channel function," investigators in Germany report.
"Since G-protein-coupled 5HT receptors show extensive adaptive changes in 5HTT-deficient mice, we investigated whether 5HT3 receptors are also altered in these mice," said Rainald Mossner...
