The 5-HT7 receptor is a member of the GPCR superfamily of cell surface receptors and is activated by the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT).[5] The 5-HT7 receptor is coupled to Gs (stimulates the production of the intracellular signaling molecule cAMP)[6][7] and is expressed in a variety of human tissues, particularly in the brain, the gastrointestinal tract, and in various blood vessels.[7] This receptor has been a drug development target for the treatment of several clinical disorders.[8] The 5-HT7 receptor is encoded by the HTR7 gene, which in humans is transcribed into 3 different splice variants.[9]
