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.1) Gatt, J.M., et al. Biol. Psychiatry 68(9):818-824(2010)
