Binding of the neurotransmitter 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) to the 5-HT3 receptor opens the channel, which, in turn, leads to an excitatory response in neurons. (wikipedia.org)
On a cellular level, it has been shown that postsynaptic 5-HT3 receptors mediate fast excitatory synaptic transmission in rat neocortical interneurons, amygdala, and hippocampus, and in ferret visual cortex. (wikipedia.org)
Because of the putative role of the serotonergic system in central physiological and pathological functions and the crucial need of identifying a novel target to prevent memory deficit in epilepsy, some serotonergic excitatory (5-HT 2A/2C ) and inhibitory receptors (5-HT 1A ) were selected for the study. (j-epilepsy.org)
Amygdala1
5-HT 1A receptor agonist has been reported to augment the latency to seizures in acute model of convulsions, while no effect has been observed in chronic amygdala kindling model. (j-epilepsy.org)
Hippocampus1
5-HT 2A/2C receptor appears to be widely expressed in cortex and hippocampus which regulates central nervous system excitability. (j-epilepsy.org)
Predominantly1
5-HT 1A receptor is predominantly distributed in limbic area and has been reported to exhibit antiepileptic effect. (j-epilepsy.org)
Stomach3
In human duodenum and stomach, for example, 5-HT3C and 5-HT3E mRNA might be greater than for 5-HT3A and 5-HT3B. (wikipedia.org)
The cranial and middle regions of the stomach presented (QA [5-HT cells]/µm2) = 6.18x10-2 ± 3.2 and the caudal region, QA = 0.6x10-2 ± 0.2. (bvsalud.org)
The SS cells were only observed in the caudal stomach, with numerical density (QA [SS cells]/µm2) = 1.4x10-2 ± 0.9 In I. iguana, variation was observed in terms of the distribution of mucus secretions and the pattern of occurrence of serotonin and somatostatin-secreting enteroendocrine cells in the TGI, which possibly will result in an interspecific adaptive response. (bvsalud.org)
Physiological2
The 5-HT3 receptor is expressed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and mediates a variety of physiological functions. (wikipedia.org)
4 - 6 5-HT receptors are involved not only in normal physiological function of brain like, sleep, memory, feeding and etc., but also in various psychiatric problems. (j-epilepsy.org)
Neuronal3
This ion channel is cation-selective and mediates neuronal depolarization and excitation within the central and peripheral nervous systems. (wikipedia.org)
PNS: neuronal excitation (in autonomic, nociceptive neurons), emesis Agonists for the receptor include: Cereulide 2-methyl-5-HT Alpha-Methyltryptamine Bufotenin Chlorophenylbiguanide Ethanol Ibogaine Phenylbiguanide Quipazine RS-56812: Potent and selective 5-HT3 partial agonist, 1000x selectivity over other serotonin receptors SR-57227 Varenicline YM-31636 S 21007 (SAR c.f. (wikipedia.org)
Some of the receptors are cation channels, which can directly depolarize the nociceptor upon activation, while other receptors activate second messenger systems to change neuronal excitability by changing expression of, or modifying the function of, other cation channels. (frontiersin.org)
Expression1
The 5-HT3C, 5-HT3D and 5-HT3E genes tend to show peripherally restricted pattern of expression, with high levels in the gut. (wikipedia.org)
Effect5
Therefore, this study has been envisaged to explore the effect of 5-HT 1A and 5-HT 2A/2C receptor modulation on epilepsy and memory deficit in pentylenetetrazole-kindled mice. (j-epilepsy.org)
5-HT 1A receptor agonist improved the memory functions while seizure severity was not improved, and the opposite effect was observed with 5-HT 1A receptor antagonist. (j-epilepsy.org)
7 The differential effect of serotonergic system is corresponded by the virtue of their receptors. (j-epilepsy.org)
Differential effect of 5-HT 1A receptor agonist has been reported in epilepsy. (j-epilepsy.org)
The therapeutic effect was evaluated using a Bayesian Cox model. (bvsalud.org)
Appears2
It appears that only the 5-HT3A subunits form functional homopentameric channels. (wikipedia.org)
The genes encoding human 5-HT3 receptors are located on chromosomes 11 (HTR3A, HTR3B) and 3 (HTR3C, HTR3D, HTR3E), so it appears that they have arisen from gene duplications. (wikipedia.org)
Area1

Channels3
As with other ligand gated ion channels, the 5-HT3 receptor consists of five subunits arranged around a central ion conducting pore, which is permeable to sodium (Na), potassium (K), and calcium (Ca) ions. (wikipedia.org)
All other subunit subtypes must heteropentamerize with 5-HT3A subunits to form functional channels. (wikipedia.org)
HTR3C and HTR3E do not seem to form functional homomeric channels, but when co-expressed with HTR3A they form heteromeric complex with decreased or increased 5-HT efficacies. (wikipedia.org)
Protein-coupled5
The 5-HT3 receptor belongs to the Cys-loop superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) and therefore differs structurally and functionally from all other 5-HT receptors (5-hydroxytryptamine, or serotonin receptors) which are G protein-coupled receptors. (wikipedia.org)
The 5-HT3 receptor differs markedly in structure and mechanism from the other 5-HT receptor subtypes, which are all G-protein-coupled. (wikipedia.org)
5-HT2A receptor desensitization induced by 5-HT and prolonged ketanserin treatment, but not by short-term ketanserin treatment, was prevented by the expression of the dominant negative mutant of G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK)2, GRK2-K220R, and by an anti-GRK2/3 antibody.

Comparison of the time-courses of agonist-induced downregulation of receptor number and mRNA indicate that a decrease in the number of 5-HT2A receptor binding sites in response to serotonin (5-HT) treatment is preceded by a decrease in 5-HT2A receptor mRNA. (neurotransmitter.net)

Inhibition2
Interestingly, purinergic receptor-mediated inhibition of CHO/5-HT1B receptor function was blocked when 5-HT2A receptors were activated simultaneously. (neurotransmitter.net)
These data suggest that the lack of 5-HT2A mediated regulation of CHO/5-HT1B receptors may be due to activation of a third pathway (in addition to PLC and PLA2 pathways), which results in the inhibition of the production or the actions of a cyclooxygenase- dependent arachidonic acid metabolite. (neurotransmitter.net)
Transient1
Moreover, cannabinoids can interact with different transient receptor potential ion channels subfamilies (transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV), TRPA and TRPM). (bmj.com)

We conclude that phenethylamine and indoleamine hallucinogens may exert their hallucinogenic effect by interacting with 5-HT2A receptors via a Ca2+/CaM-KII-dependent signal transduction pathway as partial agonists and modulating the NMDA receptors-mediated sensory, perceptual, affective and cognitive processes. (neurotransmitter.net)

Central4
As with other ligand gated ion channels, the 5-HT3 receptor consists of five subunits arranged around a central ion conducting pore, which is permeable to sodium (Na), potassium (K), and calcium (Ca) ions. (wikipedia.org)
Whereas extracellular domain is the site of action of agonists and competitive antagonists, the transmembrane domain contains the central ion pore, receptor gate, and principle selectivity filter that allows ions to cross the cell membrane. (wikipedia.org)
