On the protein level the following designations are being used for antigen 5-Hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) Receptor 2A:

5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A – 5-HT2 receptor – serotonin 5-HT-2A receptor – 5-HT-2 – 5-HT-2A – 5-HT2A receptor – serotonin receptor 2A – 5-hydroxytryptamine 2 receptor – serotonin 5HT-2 receptor – 5HT2A receptor – 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 2A – 5-HT2a receptor – serotonin 2 receptor

5-Hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) Receptor 2A fulfills a number of functions:

G-protein coupled receptor activity – protein complex binding – receptor activity – serotonin binding – serotonin receptor activity – signal transducer activity – drug binding – phosphoinositide phospholipase C activity

5-Hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) Receptor 2A is relevant to the following processes:

activation of phospholipase C activity by serotonin receptor signaling pathway – aging – cell death – memory – negative regulation of potassium ion transport – negative regulation of synaptic transmission, glutamatergic – positive regulation of MAP kinase activity – positive regulation of cell proliferation – positive regulation of vasoconstriction – regulation of dopamine secretion – response to drug – response to stress – sensory perception of pain – signal transduction – sleep – synaptic transmission – temperature homeostasis – G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway – ERK1 and ERK2 cascade – phosphoinositide 3-kinase cascade – phosphoinositide biosynthetic process – release of sequestered calcium ion into cytosol – serotonin receptor signaling pathway
