Biological function summary
The 5-HT2C receptor plays a role in modulating neurotransmitter release. It is not part of a multi-subunit complex; instead it directly interacts with G proteins to exert its function. Upon activation by serotonin the receptor can influence the release of other neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine. This interaction impacts various physiological processes including appetite control mood regulation and anxiety management.
Pathways
One finds the 5-HT2C receptor involved in the serotonin signaling pathway contributing to mood and behavior regulation. The receptor links to the phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway where it engages proteins like phospholipase C. This connection is important for cellular responses to external stimuli. The 5-HT2C receptor also has relationships with other serotonin receptors like 5-HT2B which share similar signaling mechanisms within these pathways.

General info
Function
G-protein coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) (PubMed : 12970106, PubMed : 18703043, PubMed : 19057895, PubMed : 29398112, PubMed : 7895773). Also functions as a receptor for various drugs and psychoactive substances, including ergot alkaloid derivatives, 1-2,5,-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl-2-aminopropane (DOI) and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) (PubMed : 19057895, PubMed : 29398112). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors (PubMed : 18703043, PubMed : 29398112). HTR2C is coupled to G(q)/G(11) G alpha proteins and activates phospholipase C-beta, releasing diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) second messengers that modulate the activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and promote the release of Ca(2+) ions from intracellular stores, respectively (PubMed : 18703043, PubMed : 29398112). Beta-arrestin family members inhibit signaling via G proteins and mediate activation of alternative signaling pathways (PubMed : 29398112). Regulates neuronal activity via the activation of short transient receptor potential calcium channels in the brain, and thereby modulates the activation of pro-opiomelanocortin neurons and the release of CRH that then regulates the release of corticosterone (By similarity). Plays a role in the regulation of appetite and eating behavior, responses to anxiogenic stimuli and stress (By similarity). Plays a role in insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis (By similarity).
