Data Sheet

Background: 5-HT2A (5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A) is a receptor for serotonin. It is expressed throughout the central nervous system in the neocortex and olfactory tubercle. Additionally, it is expressed in platelets, fibroblasts and neurons of the peripheral nervous system. 5-HT2A receptor agonists may have important clinical value in the treatment of various disorders, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. It is also a receptor for the human polyomavirus, JC virus.

Application: Functional assays
