Background： The product of this gene belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel receptor superfamily. This gene encodes subunit A of the type 3 receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone, and a mitogen. This receptor causes fast, depolarizing responses in neurons after activation. It appears that the heteromeric combination of A and B subunits is necessary to provide the full functional features of this receptor, since either subunit alone results in receptors with very low conductance and response amplitude. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],

Function：function:This is one of the several different receptors for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone, and a mitogen. This receptor is a ligand-gated ion channel, which when activated causes fast, depolarizing responses in neurons. It is a cation-specific, but otherwise relatively nonselective, ion channel.,miscellaneous:The HA-stretch region of HTR3A seems to be responsible for the low conductance of HTR3A homomers compared to that of HTR3A/HTR3B heteromers.,similarity:Belongs to the ligand-gated ionic channel (TC 1.A.9) family.,subunit:Forms pentahomomeric complex as well as pentaheteromeric complex with HTR3B or HTR3C or HTR3D or HTR3E; homomeric complex are functional but exhibit low conductance, decreased agonist and antagonist affinity with modified voltage dependence. Interacts with RIC3.,tissue specificity:Expressed in cer

Subcellular Location：Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Expression：Expressed in cerebral cortex, amygdala, hippocampus, and testis. Detected in monocytes of the spleen and tonsil, in small and large intestine, uterus, prostate, ovary and placenta.
