5-HT7 receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) that is activated by Serotonin. Like all other members, 5-HT7 has seven transmembrane domains. In addition, it contains a hydrophobic domain located at its N-terminal end1.
The signaling cascades activated by these receptors take part in circadian rhythm, learning and memory, hippocampal signaling and smooth muscle relaxation. It was also shown to have a role in several disorders including Autism, neuropsychiatric disorders, Epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease2,4.
5-HT7 is encoded by HTR7 gene and it has three splice variants encoding proteins that differ in the length of their carboxy-terminal ends. The splice variants are differentially expressed in the spleen, kidney, heart, thalamus, hindbrain, hippocampus, cortex, caudate, striatum and cerebellum3.
Due to its involvement in central and the peripheral nervous systems, endocrine system and its involvement in various diseases and syndromes, 5-HT7 receptor represents an interesting target for the treatment and prevention of various pathologies. Selective ligands are being studied in order to regulate this receptor's activity4.

Species reactivity key:
Anti-5HT7 Receptor/HTR7 (extracellular) Antibody (#ASR-037) is a highly specific antibody directed against an extracellular epitope of the rat protein. The antibody can be used in western blot, immunohistochemistry and live cell flow cytometry applications. It has been designed to recognize 5HT7 receptor from rat, mouse and human samples.
Anti-5HT7 Receptor/HTR7 (extracellular)-FITC Antibody (#ASR-037-F) is directly conjugated to fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) fluorophore. This conjugated antibody has been developed to be used in immunofluorescent applications such as direct flow cytometry and live cell imaging. It has been designed to recognize 5HT7 receptor from rat, mouse and human samples.
