A majority of malignant cells displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity with additional membranous staining in several cases. Renal cancers, malignant gliomas and lymphomas were generally negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
HTR5A (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
5-HT5A
Description
5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 5A, G protein-coupled (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) has been implicated in a wide range of psychiatric conditions and also has vasoconstrictive and vasodilatory effects. The gene described in this record is a member of 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor family and encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that functions as a receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine and couples to G-proteins. This protein has been shown to function in part through the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
