5-HT2 receptor: Information from Answers.com

The 5-HT₂ receptors are a subfamily of 5-HT receptors that bind the endogenous neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxtryptamine, 5-HT).^[1] The 5-HT₂ subfamily consists of three G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) which are coupled to G_q/G₁₁ and mediate excitatory neurotransmission, including 5-HT_2A, 5-HT_2B, and 5-HT_2C. For more information, please see the respective main articles of the individual subtypes:
