Gene information for HTR2A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3356
Official gene symbolHTR2A
Full name5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 2A
Aliases,5-HT2A,HTR2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes one of the receptors for serotonin, a neurotransmitter with many roles. Mutations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and are also associated with response to the antidepressant citalopram in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). MDD patients who also have a mutation in intron 2 of this gene show a significantly reduced response to citalopram as this antidepressant downregulates expression of this gene. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
