Summary

HTR2C (5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C, HGNC:5295) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xq23, encoding 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C (P28335). G-protein coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin).

This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptor. The encoded protein responds to signaling through the neurotransmitter serotonin. The mRNA of this gene is subject to multiple RNA editing events, where adenosine residues encoded by the genome are converted to inosines. RNA editing is predicted to alter the structure of the second intracellular loop, thereby generating alternate protein forms with decreased ability to interact with G proteins. Abnormalities in RNA editing of this gene have been detected in victims of suicide that suffer from depression. In addition, naturally-occuring variation in the promoter and 5’ non-coding and coding regions of this gene may show statistically-significant association with mental illness and behavioral disorders. Alternative splicing results in multiple different transcript variants.

Function. G-protein coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin). Also functions as a receptor for various drugs and psychoactive substances, including ergot alkaloid derivatives, 1-2,5,-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl-2-aminopropane (DOI) and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors. HTR2C is coupled to G(q)/G(11) G alpha proteins and activates phospholipase C-beta, releasing diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) second messengers that modulate the activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and promote the release of Ca(2+) ions from intracellular stores, respectively. Beta-arrestin family members inhibit signaling via G proteins and mediate activation of alternative signaling pathways. Regulates neuronal activity via the activation of short transient receptor potential calcium channels in the brain, and thereby modulates the activation of pro-opiomelanocortin neurons and the release of CRH that then regulates the release of corticosterone. Plays a role in the regulation of appetite and eating behavior, responses to anxiogenic stimuli and stress. Plays a role in insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with MPDZ. Interacts with ARRB2. Interacts with MPP3; this interaction stabilizes the receptor at the plasma membrane and prevents the desensitization of the HTR2C receptor-mediated calcium response.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane.

Tissue specificity. Detected in brain.

Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated.

Activity regulation. Inhibited by inverse agonist ritanserin.

Domain organisation. The PDZ domain-binding motif is involved in the interaction with MPDZ.

Similarity. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 116 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
