Abstract excerpt
1. Using membranes from stably or transiently transfected HEK293 cells cultured in 5-HT-free medium and expressing the recombinant human 5-HT(7) receptor splice variants (h5-HT(7(a)), h5-HT(7(b)) and h5-HT(7(d))), we compared their abilities to constitutively activate adenylyl cyclase (AC). 2. All h5-HT(7) splice variants elevated basal and forskolin-stimulated AC. The basal AC activity was reduced by the 5-HT(7)...
