Definition
English
:
A
serotonin
receptor subtype found primarily in the
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
and the
CHOROID PLEXUS
. This receptor subtype is believed to mediate the anorectic action of
SEROTONIN
, while selective antagonists of the 5-HT2C receptor appear to induce
ANXIETY
. Several isoforms of this receptor subtype exist, due to
adenine
deaminase editing of the receptor mRNA.
