Data Sheet

Background: 5-HT2C (5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C) is a receptor for serotonin. It is expressed in the brain and spinal cord, especially the choroid plexus. 5-HT2C receptor agonists may have important clinical value in the treatment of mental and eating disorders, such as depression, panic anxiety, OCD, bulimia and obesity. 

Application: Functional assays
