5-HT7 receptors: current knowledge and future prospects.

Abstract excerpt

Identification of three splice variants of the 5-HT7 receptor suggests a possible diversity in 5-HT7 receptor action. Indeed, 5-HT7 receptors have been implicated in the pathophysiology of several disorders; they play a role in smooth muscle relaxation within the vasculature and in the gastrointestinal tract. However, most of these assignments are derived from receptor localization studies and investigations...
