5-HT5A receptor
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

5-Hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 5A, also known as HTR5A, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HTR5A gene.[5][6] Agonists and antagonists for 5-HT receptors, as well as serotonin uptake inhibitors, present promnesic (memory-promoting) and/or anti-amnesic effects under different conditions, and 5-HT receptors are also associated with neural changes.

Function
The gene described in this record is a member of 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor family and encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that functions as a receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine and couples to G proteins, negatively influencing cAMP levels via Gi and Go.[7] This protein has been shown to function in part through the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization.[5] The 5-HT5A receptor has been shown to be functional in a native expression system.[8]
Rodents have been shown to possess two functional 5-HT5 receptor subtypes, 5-HT5A and 5-HT5B,[9] however while humans possess a gene coding for the 5-HT5B subtype, its coding sequence is interrupted by stop codons, making the gene non-functional, and so only the 5-HT5A subtype is expressed in human brain.[10]
It also appears to serve as a presynaptic serotonin autoreceptor.[11]

Clinical significance
The neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) has been implicated in a wide range of psychiatric conditions and also has vasoconstrictive and vasodilatory effects.[5]
Selective ligands
Summarize
Perspective
Few highly selective ligands are commercially available for the 5-HT5A receptor, though the field has expanded considerably in recent years.[12][13] When selective activation of this receptor is desired in scientific research, the non-selective serotonin receptor agonist 5-Carboxamidotryptamine can be used in conjunction with selective antagonists for its other targets (principally 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, and 5-HT7). Research in this area is ongoing.[14][15]
Agonists
- LSD:(+)-lysergic acid.[16][17]
- Lisuride – partial agonist.[17]
- 5-CT – full agonist.[17]
- Methylergometrine – full agonist.[17]
- Valerenic acid – a component of valerian, has been shown to act as a 5HT5A partial agonist.[18]
- Olanzapine – an atypical antipsychotic.[19]
- Psilocin[20]
- Aripiprazole - an atypical antipsychotic
- Mirtazapine - an atypical antidepressant
- UCSF648 - selective 5-HT5A partial agonist
- Another ligand that has been recently disclosed is shown below, claimed be a selective 5-HT5A agonist with Ki = 124 nM.[21]
Antagonists
