Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5-HT3) receptor, a ligand-gated ion channel, is known to be involved in gut motility and peristalsis, the mediation of pain and psychiatric diseases. 5-HT3 receptor antagonists are effectively used to treat chemotherapy-induced emesis and irritable bowel syndrome. We have characterized the impact of four naturally occurring variants in the HTR3B gene leading to amino acid...
