5-HT2 receptor

The 5-HT₂ receptors are a subfamily of 5-HT receptors that bind the endogenous neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). The 5-HT₂ subfamily consists of three G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) which are coupled to G_q/G₁₁ and mediate excitatory neurotransmission, including 5-HT_2A, 5-HT_2B, and 5-HT_2C. For more information, please see the respective main articles of the individual subtypes:

• 5-HT₁ receptor
• 5-HT₃ receptor
• 5-HT₄ receptor
• 5-HT₅ receptor
• 5-HT₆ receptor
• 5-HT₇ receptor
