Gene:
5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 7 (adenylate cyclase-coupled)
Gene ID:
202414
Symbol:
HTR7
Species:
1000
Description:
The neurotransmitter, serotonin, is thought to play a role in various cognitive and behavioral functions. The serotonin receptor encoded by this gene belongs to the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors and the gene is a candidate locus for involvement in autistic disorder and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Three splice variants have been identified which encode proteins that differ in the length of their carboxy terminal ends.
