Function

G protein-coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin). Also functions as a receptor for various drugs and psychoactive substances, including ergot alkaloid derivatives, 1-2,5,-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl-2-aminopropane (DOI) and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Detected in brain cortex, hypothalamus, brainstem and arcuate nucleus. Detected in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus

Protein Biology

Function

G protein-coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) (PubMed:17596444). Also functions as a receptor for various drugs and psychoactive substances, including ergot alkaloid derivatives, 1-2,5,-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl-2-aminopropane (DOI) and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) (By similarity). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors (By similarity). HTR2C is coupled to G(q)/G(11) G alpha proteins and activates phospholipase C-beta, releasing diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) second messengers that modulate the activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and promote the release of Ca(2+) ions from intracellular stores, respectively (By similarity). Beta-arrestin family members inhibit signaling via G proteins and mediate activation of alternative signaling pathways (By similarity). Regulates neuronal activity via the activation of short transient receptor potential calcium channels in the brain, and thereby modulates the activation of pro-opiomelanocortin neurons and the release of CRH that then regulates the release of corticosterone (PubMed:19038216, PubMed:21037584, PubMed:21835345). Plays a role in the regulation of appetite and eating behavior, responses to anxiogenic stimuli and stress (PubMed:17451451, PubMed:21048120, PubMed:7700379). Plays a role in insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis (PubMed:21037584, PubMed:9771748)

Subcellular Location

Tissue Specificity

Subunit

Interacts with MPDZ (By similarity). Interacts with ARRB2 (By similarity). Interacts with MPP3; this interaction stabilizes the receptor at the plasma membrane and prevents the desensitization of the HTR2C receptor-mediated calcium response (PubMed:16914526)
