Htr5b Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables G protein-coupled receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway, coupled to cyclic nucleotide second messenger; adenylate cyclase-inhibiting serotonin receptor signaling pathway; and chemical synaptic transmission. Predicted to be located in synapse. Predicted to be active in dendrite and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 rat Htr5b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • G-protein coupled receptor
  • 5-HT1 receptor
  • serotonin receptor
  • G-protein-coupled receptor binding
  • 7 transmembrane receptor (rhodopsin family)
  • seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor superfamily
