Summary

HTR3B (5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3B, HGNC:5298) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q23.2, encoding 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3B (O95264). Forms serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine/5-HT3)-activated cation-selective channel complexes, which when activated cause fast, depolarizing responses in neurons.

The product of this gene belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel receptor superfamily. This gene encodes subunit B 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 is not functional as a homomeric complex, but a pentaheteromeric complex with subunit A (HTR3A) displays the full functional features of this receptor.

Alternative names: Serotonin receptor 3B

All UniProt accessions (2): O95264, H0YFX8

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Forms serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine/5-HT3)-activated cation-selective channel complexes, which when activated cause fast, depolarizing responses in neurons.

Subunit / interactions. Forms homopentameric as well as heteropentameric serotonin-activated cation-selective channel complexes with HTR3A. The homomeric complex is not functional. Heteropentameric complexes display properties which resemble that of neuronal serotonin-activated channels in vivo.

Subcellular location. Postsynaptic cell membrane. Cell membrane.

Tissue specificity. Expressed in the brain cortex, in the caudate nucleus, the hippocampus, the thalamus and the amygdala. Detected in the kidney and testis as well as in monocytes of the spleen, small and large intestine, uterus, prostate, ovary and placenta.

Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylation required for membrane localization.

Domain organisation. The HA-stretch region of HTR3B seems to confer increased conductance to HTR3A/HTR3B heteromers compared to that of HTR3A homomers.

Similarity. Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor (TC 1.A.9.2) subfamily. HTR3B sub-subfamily.
