Gene information for HTR3A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3359
Official gene symbolHTR3A
Full name5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 3A
Aliases,5-HT-3,5-HT3A,5-HT3R,5HT3R,HTR3,
Gene summaryThe product of this gene belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel receptor superfamily. This gene encodes subunit A of the type 3 receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone, and a mitogen. This receptor causes fast, depolarizing responses in neurons after activation. It appears that the heteromeric combination of A and B subunits is necessary to provide the full functional features of this receptor, since either subunit alone results in receptors with very low conductance and response amplitude. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
