FunctionC562_ECOLX Electron-transport protein of unknown function.5HT2A_HUMAN G-protein coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) (PubMed:1330647, PubMed:18703043, PubMed:19057895). Also functions as a receptor for various drugs and psychoactive substances, including mescaline, psilocybin, 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI) and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) (PubMed:28129538). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors (PubMed:28129538). Beta-arrestin family members inhibit signaling via G proteins and mediate activation of alternative signaling pathways (PubMed:28129538). Signaling activates phospholipase C and a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system that modulates the activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and promotes the release of Ca(2+) ions from intracellular stores (PubMed:18703043, PubMed:28129538). Affects neural activity, perception, cognition and mood (PubMed:18297054). Plays a role in the regulation of behavior, including responses to anxiogenic situations and psychoactive substances. Plays a role in intestinal smooth muscle contraction, and may play a role in arterial vasoconstriction.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for human JC polyomavirus/JCPyV.[8] Publication Abstract from PubMedMany drugs target the serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2AR), including second-generation antipsychotics that also target the dopamine D2 receptor (D2R). These drugs often produce severe side effects due to non-selective binding to other aminergic receptors. Here, we report the structures of human 5-HT2AR in complex with the second-generation antipsychotics risperidone and zotepine. These antipsychotics effectively stabilize the inactive conformation by forming direct contacts with the residues at the bottom of the ligand-binding pocket, the movements of which are important for receptor activation. 5-HT2AR is structurally similar to 5-HT2CR but possesses a unique side-extended cavity near the orthosteric binding site. A docking study and mutagenic studies suggest that a highly 5-HT2AR-selective antagonist binds the side-extended cavity. The conformation of the ligand-binding pocket in 5-HT2AR significantly differs around extracellular loops 1 and 2 from that in D2R. These findings are beneficial for the rational design of safer antipsychotics and 5-HT2AR-selective drugs.
