Abstract excerpt
Serotonin (5-HT)(2C) receptor is a G(q)-coupled receptor exhibiting a high degree of constitutive activity toward phospholipase C effector pathway, a process regulated by receptor mRNA editing. In addition to G protein-dependent signaling, 5-HT(2C) receptors also activate the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 pathway independently of receptor coupling to G proteins. Constitutive activity at ERK...
