General description

5-HT-2C/HTR2C (5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C) receptor is a seven transmembrane domain protein. It is located on human chromosome Xq22-23.
Anti-5-HT-2C antibody detects endogenous levels of total 5-HT-2C protein.

Immunogen

The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human 5-HT-2C.

Immunogen Range: 161-210

Biochem/physiol Actions

In the nervous system, 5-HT-2C/HTR2C (5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C) participates in coordinating the intracellular responses to serotonin. It plays a major role in the modulation of energy homeostasis.
