HTR2A-C Allele is a variant form of 20-kb 3-exon human HTR2A Gene (GPCR1/5HT2 Family), which encodes Serotonin 5-HT-2A Receptor, a conserved integral membrane 5-HT/serotonin receptor protein involved in tracheal smooth muscle contraction, bronchoconstriction, and control of aldosterone production by association with G proteins that activate a PI-calcium second messenger system. 5-HT is a biogenic hormone that affects specific receptors as a neurotransmitter, hormone, or mitogen.
