Scientific Data Images for Human 5-HT2A Antibody

Detection of 5-HT2A in NS0 mouse myeloma cell line transfected (positive).

5-HT2A was detected in immersion fixed NS0 mouse myeloma cell line transfected (positive) cells and absent in NS0 mouse myeloma cell line wild type (negative) cells using Mouse Anti-Human 5-HT2A Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB112501) at 8 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

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.
