Preferred Label : receptor, serotonin, 5-ht2c;
MeSH definition : A serotonin receptor subtype found primarily in the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM and the
CHOROID PLEXUS. This receptor subtype is believed to mediate the anorectic action
of SEROTONIN, while selective antagonists of the 5-HT2C receptor appear to induce
ANXIETY. Several isoforms of this receptor subtype exist, due to adenine deaminase
editing of the receptor mRNA.;
