Serotonin immunohistochemistry-immunofluorescence using Anti-Serotonin antibody ab66047. Publication image and figure legend from Sukumaran, S. K., Lewandowski, B. C., et al., 2017, Sci Rep, PubMed 28790351.

Expression of synaptic components in type III taste cells. Immunostaining was used to identify synaptic components PCLO and CPLX2 (red, a,d) and the type III marker 5-HT (green, b,e). Merged images (c,f) indicate that PCLO is expressed in almost all 5-HT expressing cells in addition to several non 5-HT expressing cells while CPLX2 is expressed exclusively in almost all 5-HT expressing cells. Arrows point to cells co-expressing 5-HT and PCLO or CPLX2. Scale bars : C = 20 µm, F = 40 µm.

Distinct enteroendocrine cell types in the mouse antrum express Tas2r126. (A) Numerous CgA-positive EECs (red) were found to be immunoreactive for Tas2r126 (green). (B) Cells which were double labeled for Tas2r126 (green) and ghrelin (red) were also found in the antrum. (C) Dual immunostaining showed the presence of Tas2r126 immunoreactivity (green) in serotonin-producing EC cells, identified by 5-HT (red). Yellow arrows point to co-labeled cells (merge). Asterisks mark hormone-producing cells devoid of Tas2r126 staining. Scale bars (A-C), 10 μm.

Supplementary information

Serotonin also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a neurotransmitter mainly involved in modulating mood emotion and behavior. It weighs approximately 176.2 Da and appears in several body tissues including the central nervous system gastrointestinal tract and blood platelets. Neurons within the raphe nuclei of the brainstem predominantly synthesize serotonin influencing various physiological processes. Its mechanical role involves binding to and activating specific serotonin receptors classified into seven different types each mediating distinct signaling pathways.
Biological function summary

Serotonin regulates multiple bodily functions beyond mood such as appetite sleep and circadian rhythm. It forms part of a complex system interacting with various receptor subtypes which include the anti-serotonergic pathways inhibiting its action. Each receptor subtype leads to different downstream effects in cells contributing to the diversity of serotonin's biological roles. For research purposes scientists often use an ELISA kit to measure serotonin levels and this can influence the ELISA test cost based on the specificity and sensitivity required.

Pathways

Serotonin participates in both the serotonergic and dopaminergic pathways illustrating its central role in neurotransmission. The serotonergic pathway is essential for transmitting nerve impulses while its interaction with the dopaminergic system significantly affects mood and reward-related behaviors. Key proteins such as tryptophan hydroxylase for serotonin synthesis and the vesicular monoamine transporter are involved within these pathways and may alter serotonin's functional availability.

Serotonin is closely linked to depression and anxiety disorders where its imbalance can lead to mood disturbances. Antidepressant treatments often target serotonin receptors or its transporters restoring its levels within synapses. Serotonin's connection to these conditions extends through its relationship with proteins like the serotonin transporter (SERT) which recycles serotonin in the synaptic cleft. Understanding these dynamics presents potential targets for interventions and anti-serotonergic agents may offer therapeutic options for managing such disorders.
