HTR2A
HTR2A (5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A) is a G protein-coupled receptor primarily expressed in the central nervous system, particularly in the cerebral cortex. It mediates the effects of serotonin (5-HT) and is implicated in various physiological processes, including mood, cognition, and perception. Dysfunction or genetic variations in HTR2A are associated with neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, making it a significant target in psychopharmacology.
