Preparation and Storage

Background: 5-HT2A

Human serotonin receptor HTR2A, also known as 5-HT2A or HTR2, is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin). The 5-HT2A receptor is mainly a cell surface receptor with several intracellular locations. Human -5-HT2A is the main excitatory receptor subtype among the GPCRs for serotonin but an inhibitory effect on the visual cortex and the orbitofrontal cortex has also been described. This receptor was first noted for its importance as a target of serotonergic psychedelic drugs such as LSD and psilocybin mushrooms.
