5-Hydroxytryptamine receptors
5-HT receptors are, with the exception of the ionotropic 5-HT3 class, GPCRs where the endogenous agonist is 5-hydroxytryptamine. The diversity of metabotropic 5-HT receptors is increased by alternative splicing that produces isoforms of the 5-HT2A (non-functional), 5-HT2C (non-functional), 5-HT4, 5-HT6 (non-functional) and 5-HT7 receptors. Unique amongst the GPCRs, RNA editing produces 5-HT2C receptor isoforms that differ in function, such as efficiency and specificity of coupling to Gq/11 and also pharmacology [1,2]. Most 5-HT receptors (except 5-ht1e and 5-ht5b) play specific roles mediating functional responses in different tissues (reviewed by [3,4]).References

5-HT5 Receptors
Two genes have been identified that give rise to 5-ht5a and 5-ht5b proteins with structures consistent with GPCRs although in humans the 5-ht5b gene is a pseudogene since a stop codon has evolved that would, if expressed, result in a truncated protein devoid of key functional moieties of the receptor. The predicted protein sequences display less than 38% amino acid sequence identity to other 5-HT GPCRs, thus clearly distinguishing the 5-ht5a protein from other 5-HT receptors.5-ht5a is yet to receive receptor status since no robust response signal in native tissue has been described. Native 5-ht5a protein would appear G-protein coupled and recombinant expression allows coupling via various transduction systems including the G-protein mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase. A selective antagonist based on recombinant protein function has been identified (SB699551-A).Excerpt from IUPHAR/BPS Guide to Pharmacology Related Receptors
