Htr1b Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables G protein-coupled serotonin receptor activity and serotonin binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of serotonin secretion and phospholipase C-activating serotonin receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within adenylate cyclase-inhibiting G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; bone remodeling; and response to toxic substance. Located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Part of G protein-coupled serotonin receptor complex. Is active in presynaptic membrane and serotonergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; blastocyst; central nervous system; eye; and gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; antisocial personality disorder; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; conduct disorder; and substance abuse (multiple). Orthologous to human HTR1B (5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Htr1b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
